How is this a 'troll' post? It is a very interesting dilemma for the 'gun enthusiasts' who also fear muslims and lump all muslims together with 'terrorists.' The NRA gun-gods do not want to prevent terrorists or suspected terrorists from purchasing guns.

See how the issue puts some in the position of either being massive hypocrites or easing up on their bigotry? This is an actual post that belongs in P&C, as opposed to many true troll posts that are simply initiated in order to bash people or policies the OPs personally hate.

Liberals keep the flame of islamaphobia alive and are the source of the fanatsy of widespread islamaphobia. By setting zero tolerance for many social issues they never run out of enemies. Islam has to thank liberals for the perception of being collectively feared.

I believe the NRA has no problem with American Citizens owning guns. Has the person gone through all hoops to become a citizen or are they just told by some Progressive that they are a citizen?

FBI data from last year show that people on the watchlist were cleared to purchase guns 94 percent of the time.

Yes they should be allowed all arms unless convicted of a crime.

Being on a "watch list" where some desk jockey is moving names around should not suspend your civil rights. If someone is a criminal or terrorist then charge them with a crime, if not then stay out of their lives.

You can always pick one up from a gun show.


Being on a watch list does not mean you are a criminal. My brother in law is on the list, and he has no idea why, but he suspects it is because of his name.

Can't help but laugh at these sorts of retorts! "Liberals keep the flame of islamaphobia alive..."

We the cause and a fantasy you say? You need to get out more...

You may have a point, however, maybe we should consider 95% tolerance! What a hoot!

I am surprised you didn't also close with the chant about how liberals hate America. Don't be shy...

We will figure out too late, the government does not have enough employees to protect each of us.
Now that they have immensely disarmed the densely populated areas, the same areas the caliphate wishes to target. To kill as many deniers and those that have gone astray.(WARNING)

It would behoove all Americans to conceal carry in the times we are going to endure.
You can be prepared for what is at our doorstep, or be a casualty of a Holy War.

If they are citizens they have the same rights as all citizens without a criminal record.
