Ping.
This guy isn't just stupid. He is stupid to an astounding degree.
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?
The victims, MUST have MINIMUM seccess. The CIA says so!!!
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.

The Constitution is not a Suicide Pact; it's a Living Document.
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.
The INSTITUTE FOR SOCIAL POLICY UNDERSTANDING looks like an Islamofascist front. Check out the board of directors.
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.
This is without a doubt the most idiotic, destructive thing I've read in a long time.
The Founders knew the nature of tyranny. That never, ever changes.
Uhhhh.... Shoot 'em.
If this kind of terrorist attack were such a concern, then why doesn't it occur with boring regularity in a place like Israel? One thing people like this clown never mention is that these things used to happen there quite frequently, but with so many armed Israelis walking around the Palestinians terrorists had to cope with the problem of their victims shooting back at them.
"Today, only a handful of citizens outside of neo-nazi and white supremacist goups view gun ownership as a means of keeping the government in check. Even those citizens who continue to maintain such antiquated views must face the reality that the United States’ armed forces are too large and too powerful for the citizenry to make much difference. Quite frankly, the idea of the citizenry rising up against the U.S. government with their handguns and assault rifles, and facing the military with these personal arms is absurd."
Is this guy crazy, or just stupid? Only the neo-Nazi's care about the 2nd Amendment?! He doesn't read FR, does he? 80 million gun owners in America. Imagine just HALF of that as a standing army! Average number of guns per owner: 2.6. 160 million handguns or rifles is ABSURD? He assumes we'd be facing the US military. We'd be facing an ANTI-US Military...the REAL U.S. military would likely be on the side of defending the country against despotism. At least the ones I know would be. He cites WACO as proof the "people" are impotent?! A bunch of suicidal cultists?
Disarm the people to fight attacks on our country?! What should we do, throw rocks and garbage at them? Where do they find these a$$clowns?!
What kind of demented logic demands that the good guys disarm during a war, and let the bad guys have all the guns?
"Junaid M. Afeef is a Research Associate at the Institute for Social Policy & Understanding"
This was my first clue. I'm laughing pretty hard right now so its hard to type, but:
Research Associate=wannabe underling
Social Policy=Socialism
& Understanding=Liberal, feel-good rhetoric
Sedition Bttt...
