How is it misrepresentation? Because it is used to imply that things like Vegas or San Antonio are rampant and happening daily when in actuality a huge portion of the number is gang violence. It is an inflated number used to fear longer for gun control, which wouldn't do much to stop gang violence anyway. Obviously 1 situation like Vegas is too many.

Not at all what I said. If you want to argue about gun violence, lumping in gang violence is dishonest and done to inflate the number and fear monger. They should be differentiated for the sake of honest argument. Don't act like the inflated mass shooting number is used as a condemnation of white men's propensity to perpetrate mass shootings, when in reality that number is largely minorities. And Islam as a religion is shown daily, worldwide to be extremely violent and incompatible with western nations. Obviously there are peaceful Muslims. But vetting should be done of them trying to enter the country. If a travel ban is necessary in order to install more thorough processes and let countries on the list revise their systems of accounting for their citizens, then so be it. If we have a violence issue here, why invite more Violence by not having standards in place? Additionally, the guy who gave that inflated stat did so to argue in favor of a gun ban, which would have no effect at all on gang violence moreso than it would law abiding citizens. You can't use a big scary number to argue for a gun ban while ignoring that the majority of that number is made of populations that the gun ban wouldn't affect. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Funbazooka posted...mario2000 posted...Funbazooka posted...Why do leftists believe the U.S. should not be allowed to defend its sovereignty?? Yeah, he called for that 2 years ago. You can call those types of remarks islamophobic, sure. As for the three videos he re-tweeted, only one of those was fake. The other two were authentic video evidence of crimes. I fail to see why those should be censored or forbidden from the public to view. I mean, video evidence is used for convictions... it's not anti-anything. If those videos were ant-Muslim then you're well on the path to saying "well you can't use these videos to prove your case because it's islamophobic". That's where that type of logic leads. That's insane. And hardly any different than saying you can't have a travel ban because it's islamophobic. None of this makes the travel ban itself islamophobic or xenophobic or whatever. You say it's "tainted" well what does that mean? In what tangible way? Does the travel ban only target Muslims? No. It's defined by the nations on the list.

They should be differentiated for the sake of honest argument. Don't act like the inflated mass shooting number is used as a condemnation of white men's propensity to perpetrate mass shootings, when in reality that number is largely minorities. So the answer is "because I'm racist". Got it And Islam as a religion is shown daily, worldwide to be extremely violent and incompatible with western nations. Obviously there are peaceful Muslims. But vetting should be done of them trying to enter the country. If a travel ban is necessary in order to install more thorough processes and let countries on the list revise their systems of accounting for their citizens, then so be it. How do you "vet" someone? Which thorough processes would you use? I see rightists toss out these terms like candy on Halloween, but have trouble specifying exactly what they mean. If we have a violence issue here, why invite more Violence by not having standards in place? Because you're assuming someone is going to be violent just because they are Muslim. You can't use a big scary number to argue for a gun ban while ignoring that the majority of that number is made of populations that the gun ban wouldn't affect. I believe the topic at hand is the travel ban, not gun bans. --- Arrrr the SS Goku, Mighty fine boat... -fatmatt Hope Frieza doesn't chuck an Iceberg at the Goku, otherwise it's all over. -Nekoslash ...

Ah, so you're not pretending to be stupid. Because it is a notion that no one is suggesting. The only reason you have an issue with vetting people coming into the country is because Trump is the one doing it and you're a liberal sheep ready to swallow whatever the media gives to you. You not wanting people prior to shovel garbage through your front door doesn't mean you have a perfectly clean house. It means you don't want to add to the existing issues if it can be prevented. There is nothing wrong with revamping standards for entry from countries that have no meaningful way to vet their citizens, especially when they are countries where the majority religion is responsible for most of the violence on that side of the world.
