The current talk in the country today is that we should ban all Muslims from coming to this country, that means tourists, students and those wishing to immigrate here, because a lot of people are scared that those Muslims who come to this country from terrorist hotspots are going to be terrorists themselves.
I remember a while ago where a woman who owned a gun range in Hot Springs Arkansas said that she would ban any Muslims from using her gun range.
Gun range's ban on Muslims draws fire
Since it has been proven that the female shooter was at the gun range in full Muslim garb, and she fired at the range while dressed that way, it is would be known that she is Muslim.
Since they were practicing at the gun range prior to the attack, does this mean that all responsible gun range owners should ban Muslims from using their range? Should we also have a box to check on the background check for gun purchase that asks their religion, and if it's marked "Islam" or "Muslim", should they be denied the right to purchase a gun, even if they are native born citizens of this country and have no priors?
Intern and vet existing Muslim American citizens. Ones in security fields and the military have already been vetted and that's good enough for me. But people who've never been checked out should be. Ones wanting to come in will have to make other arrangements.
While it's true pleanty of 'red-blooded true blue Americans' have gone postal and been violent, Muslims pose an extra risk or treasonous positions and inclination towards radicalism we don't need.
So, the Ft. Hood shooter was vetted good enough for you because he was in the military (taking the Devil's Advocate position here)?
And, what are you going to do if the Muslims decide to buy their weapons at a gun show where a background check isn't required?
Did you notice that little event that happened in Paris 2 weeks ago or so.....
You do realize that all military weapons are absolutley banned for any citizen in France...you can't buy them in gun stores...you can't buy them at gun shows....you can't buy them from individuals......
Gun stores, and gun shows do not exist over there........and you cannot legally own them...at all....ever......
And the 8 terrorists easily got fully automatic rifles......without gun stores, gun shows or private sales.........
And many if not all of them were on government, terrorist watch lists......
And the Charlie Hebdo shooters.....3 of them...2 of them were on government, terrorist watch lists, and one was a convited criminal...also got fully automatic rifles....hand grenades, pistols, and a rocket propelled grenade......
And the guy on the train in Belgium, going to France..another fully automatic rifle...
And the gangs in Marseilles...all use fully automatic rifles...
And the guy who shot up the Jewish school in France....fully automatic rifle.
Now, in case you forgot already..........those guns are illegal....and there are no gun stored, or gun shows or private sales of fully automatic rifles in France........
So you were saying.....
