Bloomer: revs engine expecting to go somewhere, does not think to engage transmission.

(figuratively speaking, of course)

Terrorism came about long before Islam, Bloomer. And terrorism exists outside of Islam, as well.

Yes, you're right there are plenty on nut jobs out there.. nevertheless, Islam has 1.57 billion followers of a book that suggests convert or kill.

It's more dangerous than Nazism, and how many people died because of that demented ideology.

Now who's being an extremist? Are you saying 1.57 billion Muslims aspire to convert or kill.

Give your head a shake, Boom.

And speaking of stupid extremism. Give your head a shake as well, Tay.

Senate votes 45 to 54 against a bill that would have stopped people on the terror watch list from purchasing guns.

In the wake of the mass shooting in San Bernardino, California that left 14 people dead, the Senate on Thursday voted on -- and rejected -- a series of gun control bills.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-California, who sponsored the bill to use the terrorist watch list to regulate gun purchases, slammed her Republican colleagues for voting against the legislation.

"If you need proof that Congress is a hostage to the gun lobby, look no further than today's vote blocking a bill to prevent known or suspected terrorists from buying guns and explosives," she said in a statement. "Congress has been paralyzed by the gun lobby for years, while more and more Americans are killed in mass shootings. The carnage won't stop until Congress finds the courage to stand up to the gun lobby and protect the nation."

Democrats raised the bills as amendments during the scheduled Obamacare debate after demanding action to address gun violence. Following Wednesday's shooting, several liberals took Republicans to task for doing nothing aside from offering their "thoughts and prayers" after mass shootings.

Well, really.

You believe that a large number of US citizens should be denied their constitutional rights because the gov't has put their name on a list...........no presumption of innocence, in fact no charge, no trial, not even anything as simple as a notification.

How absolutely "progressive" of you.

You people are bloody dangerous.

The Watch List includes over 1 million names........

Were the names of Syed Faroouk or the others on any list? that would have stopped him from buying firearms?
