Even one terrorist is too much, but the NRA doesn't agree



This insanity is based upon a hatred of our President who is trying to find the balance we need as a nation to prevent it from another failure to recognize good citizens arrive without regard to their race:  I refer of course to the U.S. sending Jews, fleeing Europe before WWII, back to Europe, the slow recognition that Japanese Americans were loyal to the U.S., the continuous delay in recognizing the lack of gun control has led to a war on all African Americans (there was a story today about 18 Santa Monica policeman showing up with guns drawn to investigate a Hispanic locksmith helping an African American Dartmouth M.B.A.  get into the apartment which she locked herself out of), and now this completely valid concern about terrorists morphing into an indictment of people fleeing that very same terrorism because they cannot stand living within it anymore.

Nicholas Krisfoff agrees:  "If Republican governors are concerned about security risks, maybe they should vet who can buy guns. People on terrorism watch lists are legally allowed to buy guns in the United States, and more than 2,000 have done so since 2004. The National Rifle Association has opposed legislation to rectify this."

I wish the GOP would listen to themselves once in a while and look to correct the many inconsistencies within what they say.

  1. Our guess here at RedStateVT is that 0% of NRA members would object if Obama's AFT cracked down on terrorists being able to get guns legally. Why doesn't Obama do something? Why doesn't he issue an Executive Order? Perhaps he does not want to anger the terrorists....

  2. But that would entail background checks at gun shows, which the NRA opposes.
