[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A major threat to the world is not from any country but from Al Qaeda, a non-state, composed of people from many countries.  That is why member of Al Qaeda are considered "enemy combatants," because Al Qaeda is an organization and has not protection under the Geneva Convention.  Same for ISIL and ISIS -- they are not countries but a conglomeration of people from many countries including France, Belgium and the UK and Germany as well as the middle eastern countries mentioned.

I do not think Trump or his fans understand this... they also do not understand that majority of the mass death in US (barring 9/11) has been plotted inside US soil by American citizens and no amount of immigration ban will prevent those. One thing that can help is taking away people's access to mass murder weapon. [/quote]
And private aircraft. And hardware store shopping for bomb ingredients. And motor vehicles. What else, Einstein?[/quote]

With the exception of bomb ingredient, those things are regulated way more extensively than guns.  Guns shouldn't be any different.  Bombs that kill 49 people are hard to make.[/quote]

+1 to all of this.  There is a reason that guns are the mass murderers weapon-of-choice in this country.  9/11 took a lot of planning, which is part of why missing it was deemed such an intelligence failure.  Very few people can make stable, transportable bombs capable of killing 49 people even in an enclosed area like a nightclub.  Just about anyone, though, can buy a gun.[/quote]

Ehh, have to disagree.  pipe bombs or even pressure cooker bombs are much easier and you also  don't have the paper trail of a gun.  The ingredients are easily obtainable and don't set off red flags. You can also place one and get away (like the Boston Bombers) if you don't have a death wish.[/quote]
