WOOOOOWWW! There really isn't a good place to start on this piece. But, it appears that somebody is NOT and has NOT gotten much bang for their buck as far as edumacation goes at UA. Sorry jessica, seems like you require a basic knowledge of, well, just about everything.

The real problem lies in the accessibility terrorists have to guns in this country.

They only need to walk into their local armory mosque and ask for armament.

France has the kinds of gun laws that these idiots are
trying to impose upon The U. S.: How well did it work for them?

The availability of guns for anyone in America, even legally, is nonsensical.

Then, the punk can come and try to take them. If he has got the guts. He/she/it doesn't.

Cruz continued to stress, presumably in an effort to justify his stance further, that he does not want to turn away Christian refugees, just Muslims. He argued that Christians pose no “meaningful risk” of a terrorist attack.

Do the Crusades or even the Westboro Baptist Church ring a bell? No one religion is more capable of harm than another, and Islam definitely is not the only religion in our world right now that's followers commits acts of terror in the name of their beliefs. Ideally, yes, religion and war would not involve one another; but that is the way the relationship between the two has been since the major world religions emerged, and will probably not change anytime soon. In this case, it is better to be proactive about gun policy than jeopardize the principles that America was founded on by turning away those in desperate need for safety.

Well she is not wrong, every religion is equally CAPABLE of violence. However capability does not equate to likelihood.

And even as obnoxious as Westboro is, it is not a violent group. The Crusades were a response to preceding centuries of Muslim aggression agains Christian lands. By the time of the Crusades Muslims had conquered two thirds of Christendom.

Muslims however are far more prone to violence than other religions. Too deny this fact is to deny reality. The verifiable facts can not be refuted.

And why does the availability of firearms even have to come in to this. We do not have to accept refugees and if we do accept refugees we do not have to release them in to the general population. Other countries keep refugees in camps confined away from their citizens.

The refugees can be segregated away from or general population. They do not need to be given permanent residency status. They can be repatriated to their home country after the passing of the current crisis.

We can provide them humanitarian aid without endangering our own people unnecessarily.
