How does this one grab you? Another fantastic idea from a brainless wonder with a pen. Imagine preparing our citizenry to face homicidal terrorists by disarming them. Makes you wonder who Afeef really works for. Remember Heston's words, "From my cold dead hands".

The Second Amendment is not worth such risks.

Well, in that case neither is the 1st, or the 3rd, or the 4th, or the 5th......we just can't be too careful about TERRORISM (TM) these days.

I hate to profile based on a name, but how much you wanna bet the author of this piece is a terrorist and seeks to disarm Americans before committing a giant atrocity himself? Well, I suppose you could change his name to Sarah Brady and that would change nothing.

Just more of the same old brain dead idiocy. First we have to get rid of our guns to protect ourselves from rabid criminals. Now we have to get rid of our guns to protect ourselves from homicidal terrorists. Notice a pattern?

Look at the source. Afeef is a Muslim who doesn't want us armed to fight the terrorists. Funny how he attacks our contstitutional right to defend ourselves but is concerned with constitutional rights in the defense of terrorists.

Close.

At first I was going to ask how old this guy was, I thought maybe this was a junior high report.

Then I saw that the author is an attorney, and everything fell into place.

The Constitution is not a Suicide Pact; it's a Living Document.

Bwahahah.... Yeah, thats it, disarm us. After 9/11, they couldn't keep simple pistols on the shelves. Americans reaction to attack was to arm themselves, even if the threat was not the type you could stop with a pistol (try stopping a 757 from ramming your house with a pistol). It was, however, a logical reaction to fear.

So, if a criminal's worst fear (according to statistics I've read) is a tie between a vicious dog or armed homeowner, I wonder how the terrorists feel? They plan for every contingency (at least the "professional" ones do), so how does taking on a pissed off crowd of armed Americans grab ya for operational security?

An armed citizen is the ultimate free radical, you don't know where we are and you don't know how good we are with the weapons we have. Tough to plan for that.

If unalienable rights must be repealed I suggest that the muslim author of that piece have his rights to life and liberty revoked.

Not only are these the the disorganized thoughts of an idiot, they are the dreams of most of those we call public servants. Probably 90% of all Police chiefs, 60% of legislators, and probably 40% of Republican office holders hold similar views. I firmly believe that there will be terror type attacks with weapons, and the govt will begin disarming Americans. Soon we will be proudly dependent on the whims of our betters, just like Canada, Britain and Australia.

Kind of makes you wonder which state these terrorists are more likely to hit a shopping mall in. Would it be Houston Texas in the heart of the right to carry gun nut country. Or do you think that maybe Chicago Illinois in the heart of the no right to own any gun whatsoever country would make a more tempting target.

The INSTITUTE FOR SOCIAL POLICY UNDERSTANDING looks like an Islamofascist front. Check out the board of directors.

Or just invoke the "universal executive power of the law of nature"....... that way we can keep our guns!

Transportation means were used in both the trade tower and the Oklahoma City attacks. It makes more sense to ground planes and ban rental trucks to control terror.

I was encouraged by her stastistics for gun ownership. With those kinds of numbers it will be a very hard battle to confiscate guns in the US.
