"Hey, we are in a war. Whatever can be used for a weapon should not be allowed to be purchased without a background check, especially when we know what their motive is. "

Besides cell phones, what else, in YOUR opinion can be used for a weapon? How about aluminum cans? Cotton cloth or string? Charcoal? Gasoline? Kerosene? How do we know what "their" motive is? You read minds?

"I also stated that if such Middle Easterner tries to make such purchases, I would have no problem of shooting him first, then asking questions later."

I'm especially interested in this because you advocate shooting people who try to buy such things based on your assessment of their intent. Aside from your ability to judge intentions, tell me: Can YOU tell the difference between someone from the Middle East, someone from Mexico, someone from Italy, or someone from Southern Germany? Most (though not all) of the people from those places, and many others, have black hair, olive skin, and brown eyes. How can you tell who to shoot, and who not?
