    Did you think that ISIS takes "applicants" from foreign countries through assessment centers and then makes them sign a 45-page employment contract?

    That's not actually how it works.

    I guess it is a really strict vetting process, they fly you in to Afghanistan 5-6 times, Morey interviews you and Les Alexander has the final say.

    I hear it helps to be an undersized power forward.

    They sent me an iPad once despite the fact that I've never had any interest in them whatsoever.

    Okay, well what I posted wasn't anything new, it wasn't even the first time I've posted it in response to you in this thread. For whatever reason you keep ignoring evidence in order to deny the obvious, that this was a terrorist act carried out by a radicalized Muslim. That doesn't mean all Muslims are radicalized, it doesn't mean all Muslims are terrorists, it just means this guy was.

    Nothing says "I love you" quite like forcing your wife to watch you commit atrocities on television. To be that emotionally oblivious to at least not make some effort protect those you care about from your own awfulness is purely sociopathic.

    The Orlando shooting made it more obvious that guns are the solution. The Orlando police took 3 hours to rush the building. Sometimes the police can't save you, then what are you going to do?

    It only takes 200 good guys with guns, err... police, to stop 1 bad guy with a gun. Legit.

    It took 3 hours to end it, but only 15 minutes to contain him in the area where he held the remaining hostages. It could have been a lot worse.

    An armed guard with a "wand" metal detector would be much more effective than making sure bar patrons were armed (which is illegal in every conceal carry state anyway). At this point, if I owned a club, especially a gay club, that's what I would do.

    They do. That is why he attacked at 2 because they don't do it at closing.

    I thought these details were common knowledge.

    No. I guy behind him with a gun would do the job, too.

    It only took one good guy with a handgun to stop 2 would be terrorists with assault rifles and body armor near Dallas a few years back when they were holding an event where people were showing pictures of Muhammad at a gallery.

    Security is the solution, but those on the left only know prohibition and removal of civil rights.
