I read a little bit about this guy and his family today. If they hated the US (and willing to kill our citizens) they sure profited from the American Dream. The sister was a well-liked teacher in Tenn who all of a sudden dropped out and left the country reportedly with some guy she was going to marry. The kid who did the killings had an engineering degree. Not totally sure yet if he was a lone wolf. There might have been some travel on his part to the Middle East. If he was with ISIS you'd think they'd want him for his technical knowledge. These kind of situations might become even more frequent. There's a lot of data about "no gun zones" around military facilities. It has to be revised that's for sure. btw it started with Bush I not with Clinton. As for every soldier packing a gun at a big military installation. I don't know. You're talking about thousands of people on a military base in close quarters under sometimes difficult living circumstances. There was a reason for this coming into effect and I guess it was for safety purposes and to avoid accidents and violence with guns. There are guns in military gun free zones but only authorized personnel. Guys who are in a recruiting office should definitely be armed esp in this present climate. There have to be immediate changes in this policy.
Well,maybe that issue can be addressed as soon as Obama is done trying to campaign for the democratic party on the cell block.
Hey Husker, you're a personal liberties guy and there's nothing wrong with that. But are you just for your own personal liberties or is this for everybody? Like for example all of those farmers in Nebraska who are against the Keystone XL pipeline because it would confiscate their property under eminent domain. What about their personal liberties? Don't they count. Well your Repub Congress doesn't think so. The first bill they approved (both houses) was that one. The guy you say is a clown vetoed it.
Oh, come on. He isn't running for anything. Most of the Dems stay away from him because of his unpopularity.
I love drones in Iraq and Syria. They give you access without much collateral damage to taking out bad guys and actually save American and civilian lives. But here in the US a scary proposition. They are kind of as of now unregulated. And not only present a danger to airplanes on flight paths but are potentially easy for terrorists to send to areas with guns or bombs to kill people. I hope they do something about this before something real bad happens. But the illegal ones or the ones the terrorists would use: could be a lethal weapon. And transportation for a WMD.
Drones IMO are a massive problem. Its not if but when the enemy starts making their own its going to be extremely hard to stop them. I can only think of one solution and that is to use an EMP to stop a wide range of incoming drones big or small but how realistic that is I do not know.
embraced is the word you are looking for there, not started. and...fwiw in 1792, the Bush family was...well...not the Adamses...
