From the acid trip that is American gun culture comes a new and urgent concern: Should terror suspects be allowed to own guns?
On the face of it, the question is almost sublimely stupid.
And yet, it’s burning bright at the moment in America’s highly reactive polity.
Democrats on Capitol Hill staged a filibuster this week to force a vote on the subject.
Democratic Senator Chris Murphy launched a nearly 15-hour filibuster to demand a vote on gun-control measures.
And Donald Trump, who in the past few months has morphed into a pro-gun absolutist, suddenly has concerns, too.
The presumptive Republican presidential nominee tweeted: “I will be meeting with the NRA, who has endorsed me, about not allowing people on the terrorist watch list, or the no-fly list, to buy guns.”
Well, maybe if this “ISIS” outfit has become so dangerous and so pervasive inside the United States, the best thing our American friends COULD do is arm up just in case they happen to meet one of these guys in public. Like, oh, I don’t know, at a club, for instance. You know, like they do in G4S’s home country, israel.“From the acid trip that is American culture comes a new and urgent concern: Should terror suspects be allowed to own guns?” Wrong question, Neil. Again. The question you should be asking is: should mentally unstable security guards working for the same foreign security company who “provided” airport security at Boston and New York on September 11, 2001 be allowed to carry? And when his assignment involves guarding a retirement home, is that sidearm necessary (?). Maybe we should start talking about the dad, NEIL. Oh, but we’re not going to be doing that, are we?No, no, no, no, no, no. No more then we’ll be talking about Michael Bibeau’s mom.The government of Canada’s deputy chairman, immigration division, Susan Bibeau.
