Hide the hijab.

Image result for san bernardino guns mages    America is quite a country. In the wake of the horrific shootings in San Bernardino, Americans are actually buying up more guns. If you own shares of stock belonging to gun manufacturers you are probably laughing your way to the bank.  

Meanwhile, a man the New York Daily News called a terrorist must be smiling at his handy work these days. The leader of the NRA, Wayne LaPierre, has managed to buy off just about every politician in Washington. 

Just imagine this for a minute: There was actually some sensible gun legislation that would have blocked terrorist (yes, I said terrorists), the mentally ill, and felons from buying guns, but the GOP said no. I know I know, I am shocked, too.

To them, any such legislation might weaken the "right to keep and bear arms", because any day now the evil government led by the Kenyan Muslim might kick our doors down and take all of grandpa's guns from the attic.

"To say it's okay for would-be terrorists to buy guns after what happened in Paris in California shows just a total disregard for public safety and a total fear of the NRA. and it's hard to believe the NRA could be so unreasonable. They're digging their own grave," 

No they are not Senator Schumer, they will be just fine.  Money can fix everything. Politicians need it to get reelected, and a clueless electorate----- after a few ads that distort the Second Amendment, will vote them right back in.

Speaking of the San Bernardino shootings, as a result of said shootings, Islamophobia is now running rampant. It started with the media, and it just took off from there. (The ignoramos leading the GOP pack actually made this asinine statement: "Take a look. I mean, you look at the names, you look at what’s happened. You tell me,” Trump said, adding he thinks “it was terrorism"  You can't make this stuff up folks. And that's not the only one. There are plenty more like that in the orange colored one's arsenal. Good for Chris Matthews for calling him out.   

The GOP is doing their best to politicize the entire sordid episode because god forbid they miss an opportunity to score political brownie points at the expense of  the dead. Their minions and thralls are actually calling on "moderate" Muslims to fix their Muslim problem. Imagine that. I don't recall us telling moderate Christians to fix their Christian problem when Christian mass murders were terrorizing us. Or, for that matter, telling suburban moms to fix their child problem when their kids were killing their classmates in record numbers. 

The thing is, this type of ignorance and Islamophobia is playing right into the hands of Isis. They want us to lash out at Muslims so that they can say to other Muslims: See, this is what they think of you. Being a moderate Muslim will not help you. They (the West) will be against you no matter what.

Thanks to the right wing and their fellow fanatics, the Isis plan seems to be working.

    Yeah, that's the ticket. Obama is blameless on this one.

    I'll call your bluff...

    I am under the impression neither had a criminal record. The female half passed a government background check to get a visa and enter the country. The other one was a government employee. Neither were on a government watch list.

    What sensible gun legislation would have prevented the San Bernardino shooting?

  6. "Thanks to the right wing and their fellow fanatics, the Isis plan seems to be working."

    Another Muslim terrorist act, and all Field can do is attack the people he really hates: White conservatives. Just like the Obama administration..

    Yesterday, Attorney General Loretta Lynch said "that ever since the attacks in Paris last month, she is increasingly concerned with the “incredibly disturbing rise of anti-Muslim rhetoric… that fear is my greatest fear.”

    Her greatest fear: not the slaughter of our own citizens at the hands of Islamic fundamentalists, but "anti-Muslim rhetoric" - the dreaded but mythic "anti-Muslim backlash" that never happens.

    “My message not just to the Muslim community but to all Americans is ‘We cannot give in to the fear that these backlashes are really based on,’” Lynch said.

    Isn't fear based on actual instances of Muslim terrorism to be expected?

    Lynch went on to declare she intends to use the DOJ to protect Muslims from discrimination and violence: “When we talk about the First amendment we must make it clear that actions predicated on violent talk are not American. They are not who we are, they are not what we do, and they will be prosecuted.”

    So our Attorney General's response to the worst act of terror on American soil is to belittle the concerns of of a frightened populace and threaten the free speech rights of American citizens. One would think that her first words would be to reassure those whose her job it is to protect that the government is doing everything it can to stop future terrorist killings. But no, the people she is promising to arrest are those who say something that could be threatening to Muslims.

    In other words, as her boss says: "the future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam".

    Smiling? LaPierre and Butt Trumpet are sucking each other's cocks right now. Yeah there was some sensible gun legislation, and had it been passed 30 years ago when the NRA went from a mainstream organization focused on gun safety to an extremist one focused on gun worship, then yeah, there would be far fewer guns available now to terrorists, the mentally ill, and felons. But we are where we are, which is, the NRA has won. And what have they won? The "2A" is not a right but a responsibility to bear arms, an obligation to compete in a personal arms race. Hatred, bigotry, and ignorance has also apparently won. And if you want to resonate with feeble minded voters then you better be a bloviating blowhard like Butt Trumpet.

    I wonder if AG Lynch will hold Imams to the same standard:

    The mosque's current Imam, Shaker Elsayed, has said in the past that the killing of a Jewish man was justified because he "adopted a position against all Arabs and Muslims." Elsayed has also defended a member of Palestinian Islamic Jihad, saying that the FBI was involved in a "war on Muslim institutions." In 2013, he called for armed jihad against the United States.

    Or Black Lives Matter:

    "Do you believe the government making a list of scary people and denying them rights before even being charged with a crime is the correct solution?"

    When it comes to guns, that sounds perfectly sensible to do.

    In fact, the whole problem is that owning guns is seen in America as a right. That's severely effed up. (The Second Amendment itself is a historical accident that originated with the Founders' utopian and immediately aborted plan for the country not to have a standing, professional army. Now we have the most powerful professional standing army on the planet.)

    In any sane country, owning a gun, if you're allowed one at all, is a privilege that you earn.

    We make some basic demands of people that want to drive cars -- that they are physically capable to drive, that they know how to drive, that they pay for liability insurance, etc. That's because cars can kill people.

    The demands for owning a gun should be substantially higher than for driving a car, because it's not merely the case that guns CAN kill -- they are actually MEANT to kill. That is what guns are for. As long as the application process for obtaining a gun is reasonable, I have no problem with not handing out guns to any jackass who merely wants one.

    As for the objections to the no-fly list, the biggest issue is that the list is completely opaque. 1) The government sticks you on it without telling you they did so, 2) they won't reveal their criteria for why they put you on it, and 3) if you were somehow put on the list in error, there is absolutely no way to appeal to be taken off it. (My understanding is that there has been some small improvement in that direction very recently.)

    None of those terrible no-fly list features are an unavoidable part of a gun application process. This is a nonsense analogy.

    It is truly ironic to see someone who was able to obtain a JD (though likely on an affirmative-action grading scale) use the word "ignorant" in its ghetto sense instead of its dictionary meaning.

  16. Gotta love how the liberal media runs cover...

    Correction (Dec. 5): An earlier version of this report said Tashfeen provided a nonexistent address to U.S. officials when she applied for a fiance visa. Local residents say the version of the address provided is not precise, but the family does own a house in the neighborhood.
    http://abcnews.go.com/International/female-san-bernardino-shooter-tashfeen-malik/story?id=35589386

    Of course the address is "not precise."

    She wanted to kill Americans and she knew that putting down a "not precise" address would help her.

    A recent UK study found that both anti-Muslim hate crimes and the number of anti-Muslim hate groups (so-called "counter-jihad" organizations) are growing in Western countries.

    "The report, released today, also documents the counter-jihad movement in the US, where there are 42 anti-Muslim groups, such as ACT for America and the New-York based American Freedom Defense Initiative, and in Australia, citing 12 groups, including the Q Society, a Victoria-based grassroots anti-Islamist organisation that claims volunteer-run chapters across the country."

    If politicians want to get serious about dealing with gun homicide, they really need to look at where it is occurring and why, right?

    From what I've read, cities like Baltimore, Chicago, St. Louis, Camden, Philadelphia and DC are the most violent cities in terms of gun homicides.

    Don't all these cities already have strict gun laws? What else do they have in common?

    They all have been Democrat strongholds for decades, so could that be the reason? Maybe. Anything else? Of course not. That’s it. Nothing else to consider here.

    "has the nerve to comment on someone with superior education and intellect."

    The point is that whatever education they've had has given them NO intellect.  Whatever fancy words they've learned, they cannot even use them correctly in a sentence 8 times out of 10.  E.g., "ignorant".

    "Carry on inbred racist."

    It's the hood rats who are inbred, because none of them have any idea who their fathers are let alone their grandfathers.  You have many unwitting half-siblings conceiving children together.  I, on the other hand, know that my parents came from widely separated lines of descent.  Envy me.  It's all you can do.

    "I survive AND thrive as the often the ONLY Black person in the room/meeting/departmental seminar/conference because that's what brilliance does."

    I'll bet there are a lot of eye-rolls among the people whose poker faces aren't that good.  I'll further bet that they have all kinds of horror stories about the entitled Black harpy at work to share with their families, spouses and friends at the bar.
