CNN Says 'White Men' are the Biggest Terror Threat in US

[Typical Lax Dad]

If people want to live in a country that bans guns, there are plenty to choose. This one was created with gun ownership built in. Its easy if you do not like guns. pack the bags folks.

I believe we should give everyone a musket.

[hooligan88]

I think we should give em brains. In my family when you are born you get lax stick and a gun!!!

A musket is a gun.

[hooligan88]

My family gave up their guns once. And then were sent packing on the "Trail of Tears" We will never give up our guns, again!!!

I don't recall any proposals to ban all guns. There are some weapons banned today, no?

Within and without this thread, I've yet to hear someone suggest banning guns. None the less, someone or someones says, much like we do with cars, drugs, alcohol, etc., we should have smarter laws with relation to guns and... THEY WANT TO OUTLAW GUNS!!! This would be an example of an irrational reason why it makes sense for guns to have laxer restrictions and monitoring than cars, etc. Still waiting for a rational reason...

It is that all or nothing mentality that is so prevalent.

[hooligan88]

Again, if you feel so strongly about living in a place that bans guns there are plenty of places to pick. It is working great for Chicago.

The slippery slope argument. If we have any restrictions re: guns, soon, we'll have no guns. Same category as, If we let gays marry each other, soon, we'll have men marrying animals. Makes no sense...

[Matnum PI]

Hooligan, no one in this thread wants to ban guns.

We can literally change the country however and whenever we want. The founding fathers enshrined that into the constitution and encouraged its use.

So don't listen to them, they are wrong.

[ABV 8.3%]

is someone really defending this horrible act?

For sure. There are people who put "winning" over "doing the right thing" and, similar to Charlottesville, not openly and adamantly condemning whst happened in VA is wrong but... Gotta get the votes. When Trump was asked to condemn David Duke and white supremacists, to say he doesn't want their votes, his response was to say he doesn't know who either of them are. That kind of stuff is awful and justifying this behavior is, in some ways, worse than the behavior itself.

When he did, it wasn't covered by the MSM. And when it was covered by the MSM, they only focused on the context they wanted , clips and speaking missteps where anything closely resembeling the narrative was front page-lead with stuff. If Trump landed on the moon, it wouldn't be covered, or if it was, the MSM would discuss how he missed the landing by 13 yards. Cue the, "it wasn't sincere ", or the " it was pathetically late from the twitter in chief ".

THE PRESIDENT: Thank you. I’m in Washington today to meet with my economic team about trade policy and major tax cuts and reform. We are renegotiating trade deals and making them good for the American worker. And it’s about time.

Our economy is now strong. The stock market continues to hit record highs, unemployment is at a 16-year low, and businesses are more optimistic than ever before. Companies are moving back to the United States and bringing many thousands of jobs with them. We have already created over one million jobs since I took office.

We will be discussing economic issues in greater detail later this afternoon, but, based on the events that took place over the weekend in Charlottesville, Virginia, I would like to provide the nation with an update on the ongoing federal response to the horrific attack and violence that was witnessed by everyone.

I just met with FBI Director Christopher Wray and Attorney General Jeff Sessions. The Department of Justice has opened a civil rights investigation into the deadly car attack that killed one innocent American and wounded 20 others. To anyone who acted criminally in this weekend’s racist violence, you will be held fully accountable. Justice will be delivered.

As I said on Saturday, we condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry, and violence. It has no place in America.

And as I have said many times before: No matter the color of our skin, we all live under the same laws, we all salute the same great flag, and we are all made by the same almighty God. We must love each other, show affection for each other, and unite together in condemnation of hatred, bigotry, and violence. We must rediscover the bonds of love and loyalty that bring us together as Americans.

Racism is evil. And those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including the KKK, neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as Americans.

We are a nation founded on the truth that all of us are created equal. We are equal in the eyes of our Creator. We are equal under the law. And we are equal under our Constitution. Those who spread violence in the name of bigotry strike at the very core of America.

Two days ago, a young American woman, Heather Heyer, was tragically killed. Her death fills us with grief, and we send her family our thoughts, our prayers, and our love.

We also mourn the two Virginia state troopers who died in service to their community, their commonwealth, and their country. Troopers Jay Cullen and Burke Bates exemplify the very best of America, and our hearts go out to their families, their friends, and every member of American law enforcement.

These three fallen Americans embody the goodness and decency of our nation. In times such as these, America has always shown its true character: responding to hate with love, division with unity, and violence with an unwavering resolve for justice.

As a candidate, I promised to restore law and order to our country, and our federal law enforcement agencies are following through on that pledge. We will spare no resource in fighting so that every American child can grow up free from violence and fear. We will defend and protect the sacred rights of all Americans, and we will work together so that every citizen in this blessed land is free to follow their dreams in their hearts, and to express the love and joy in their souls.

Thank you. God bless you. And God bless America. Thank you very much.

ABV, it's true, the POTUS did make/read this statement. But one doesn't usually give kudos to an american president for denouncing bigotry and a death as a direct result of this bigotry. In other words, saying, 'What happened is terrible' is far from landing on the moon. Alternatively, referring to the white supremacists as 'fine people', that is much more like landing on the moon. That line will go down in history not because the MSM is so anti-Trump. It's because it's so unusual... like landing on the moon. Saying bigotry is bad is not unusual. Trump is tagged a racist not because the MSM has a vendetta against him. Trump is labeled a racist because his words and actions are racist. And this label was justifiably given and justifiably maintained well before Trump was elected president.

Dude can’t go a day without taking credit for an economy, stock market, and monthly job increases that have been on a 9-10 year run. A clown.

Alternatively, if the US 'bans guns', you're free to pack your bags too.
