Abundance of caution' on refugees, but not guns? (barf alert)
Chicago Sun-Times ^ | 20 nov 2015 | Eric Zorn

Impressive, in a way, wasn't it?

Not even a full six days after the horrors of the Islamic State terrorist attacks in Paris, and the U.S. House of Representatives acted to combat the threat on our shores. By a vote of 289-137 the lawmakers passed the American Security Against Foreign Enemies (SAFE) Act, a measure calling for enhanced scrutiny of refugees from Iraq and Syria.

In a statement, House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Michael McCaul, R-Texas, explained that "the bill requires the nation's top security officials — the secretary of homeland security, the director of the FBI and the director of national intelligence — to certify before admitting any Syrian or Iraqi refugee into the United States that the individual does not represent a security threat."

He added that creating such a high bar for entry is necessary "in order to keep terrorists from infiltrating America disguised as refugees. We cannot afford to play Russian roulette with our national security

Yup, if we just disarmed law abiding Americans, world peace would occur...

If the world continues to head in the current direction (and I have no reason to see why not) people like this will one day be begging for someone armed to protect them. But by then it may be too late. like all other libs he is blind to it and doesn’t seem to see the world as it really is.

How did the myth about domestic possession of sidearms and personal protection devices being somehow the “cause” of excessive violence in that territory once known as “the United States of America, get conflated with the very real danger of a fifth column of enemy combatants being shuttled into the same territory?

Listen, there are PLENTY of uncontrolled arms being brought into the US through the very porous southern border, which by all objective standards, is not even being enforced now.

And with the flood of arms that are considered “illegal” in many jurisdictions, and also virtually untraceable, there are also a number of vaguely similar-looking swarthy strangers that are also crossing over in the flood of Mexican, Central and South Americans, some of which understand not one word of Spanish, but are fluent in Farsi or Arabic. And some of these even look a little prosperous, should anybody catch a glimpse of them in passing.

This is in addition to the ones that are being brought in “officially”, at Federal government expense, supposedly refugees, 98% Muslim, virtually all males between ages of 20 and 30 years.

Biggest Trojan Horse in history.

Now that’s one tortured analogy.

Eric "I Wear My Underwear Backwards For Islam" Zorn.

To paraphrase Hillary about Muslims:

"American gun owners are peaceful and tolerant people and have nothing whatsoever to do with criminality."

I’d expect a major surge in gun purchases. Especially given that Black Friday sales are only a week away. Get ready because shelves are going to be empty through the holidays. Guns are going to be a hot item with obama importing a terrorist army.

Memo to all of you gun grabbers out there who entertain statist fantasies about using a “Serious Crisis” of terrorist attack as pretext for trying to incrementally destroying our common sense civil right of armed self defense... You have already told us of your ultimate goal of Confiscation:

Mr. Cuomo, speaking on WGDJ-AM, said:'Confiscation could be an option.' http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/21/nyregion/cuomo-says-he-will-outline-gun-measures-next-month.html?_r=1&;

MSNBC' Ed Schultz Talks Gun 'Confiscation' http://newsbusters.org/blogs/dan-gainor/2012/12/16/msnbc-s-ed-schultz-talks-gun-confiscation

OBAMA ENDORSES AUSTRALIAN-STYLE GUN CONFISCATION https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKSvxz5LHHw

Clinton: Australian-Style Gun Control 'Worth Considering' for U.S https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JctBYrIaKvY

Yes, They Want to Take Your Guns Away http://thebea.st/1HmJOfM

A gun-free society http://wapo.st/1LrJxz3

Clinton Announces Massive Gun Control Plan http://dailycaller.com/2015/10/16/clinton-announces-massive-gun-control-plan/

So you can forget trying to do this gradually with Intergalactic Background Checks [IBC] Registration and then CONFISCATION.

Of course!

Muslim "Syrian widows and orphans" are Constitutionally protected.

Firearms are not.
