Your bordering on Paranoia, if not more. More americans are killed by toddlers with guns than terrorism in the US.
This order will achieve very little in the way of "protecting" the US.

Not sure what you mean there?
Only about 50% approx of the US abult population voted (if you ignore the ilelgals and such that voted and shouldn't have). Of that 50% it was roughly split down the middle for Trump and Hillary. She got slightly more votes. So 1/4 of the nation voted for Trump and 1/4 voted for Hillary approx.
So half the country are nut jobs? The only half I see there is the half of the nation that didn't vote. Or are you referring to a different half?

A muslim is a person who practices the Islam faith. People from many different races are muslim. This has nothing to do with race whatso ever. Just like Obama's 2015 Act. That was nothing about race either.
I would think then that the UK should take all of the refuges that were slated to go to the US since you claim that there are no issues.
I thought that one of the major reasons brexit was passed was because a majority of voters were concerned about who the UK let it. I guess that not all your neighbors feel the way that you do about this issue.
It's not a complete ban. Both Obama in 2015 and Trump now have a lot of exceptions to their temporary bans.

Did he oppose the previous president when the exact temporary inconvenience also occured? As far as I know he did not.
Would you support extreme vetting for any gun purchase? After all, only a tiny fraction of gun owners commit violent crimes but shouldn't we stop them from getting a gun seeings how many more people die from gun deaths each year than terrorism. What's wrong with asking a gun purchaser for their social media accounts and phone contact list? If they are cleared then they get to buy a gun. If they are not then they don't.
No, but I would support extreme vetting at the ballot box:
1) Are you actually who you state you are?
2) Are you a citizen who has not been convicted of a felony?
3) Can you name your Congressperson?
Increased recruitment among terror groups; increased funding flowing to said groups, increased arms purchases since Black Friday, and unanimity among those of us who protect you from such things.
Perhaps you'd care to offer evidence suggesting we are somehow more safe?
It would certainly run counter to your own interests, but OK . . .
No. We have a right to own firearms as defined by the 2A. Want to change that then there's a process to go about doing it. Immigrants don't have a right to come to our lands. It's a privilege and we have a right to decide who comes.
What are you smoking. What manhattan bomb? I live here. no bombs. Nice try fear mongering though by making stuff up.

You odn't understand trumps platform. He wants to lower taxes. Did you miss the last 18 months of his campaign?
[doublepost=1485971634][/doublepost]
agreed. it will do the exact opposite. and playing right into the enemies propaganda.
I doubt it. Removing dead people, non-citizens, and identity stealers from the ballot box would clear things up quite a bit. Adding in the requirement that voters have at least a modicum of political awareness beyond "D" or "R" would just be gravy.
[doublepost=1485971960][/doublepost]
So far. You say that like it could never change.
I'm sure we're all waiting with bated breath for reliable evidence from you.
So you believe it's ok to let nutcases get guns and commit mass murder by not require a more stringent vetting process for potential gun buyers. We already have laws in place requiring some checks, what's wrong with closing loopholes and making the checks better?
According to whom and this upswell has triggered that this quickly? Let's be realistic. Your statement is hogwash in all its fine form. aka fear-mongering.
Safer? Yes. We are currently missing information for background and id checks for the majority of people that want to come to the USA from these countries and the governments there is unable or unwilling to give us the information / data to execute a standard vetting. To ensure these folks are who they say they are and have the proper ethics/morals/mindset (aka not a terrorist to terrorist supporter) we need what is being called extreme vetting. Getting this makes us safer in respect to who is allowed into the USA.
Easy answer - let's only allow people to own firearms who have completed an honorable term of service in the military. That even takes into account the "well-regulated militia" clause.
I am referring to hiring Americans in the US. And never mentioned anything about the Wall. Different topic. Maybe you haven't had your coffee today
I mentioned walls, not The Wall. I meant it like building barriers. But of course that Mexican wall will be another silly wall, only topped by the Great Wall of China and the Berlin Wall in fame.
Obviously you've never been part of a national security organization. I am. You're free to believe it or not; I could care less. But those are the facts: recruitment is up since election day, and up even more since Black Friday, as is fundraising.
The entire national security universe recognizes that the actions taken to date have made us less "safe." The only people who don't are the political hacks who refuse briefings on what the actual threats are, and on how to counter them.
Not saying you aren't, but the facts don't fit the picture. Cause and reaction do not happen that quickly in that arena to allow the message to get out, ire is raised, recruitment is up substantially, we see it, and we determine the root cause.
Sorry, the sounds and feels like the same old tirade that is dusted off and trotted out.
Of course it could change - like anything can. It's just the risk factor and apparently it's very small judging recent history.
Your more likely to be killed by another american today, and tomorrow, and the next day etc.
Looks like Trumps Fear Mongering has been successful on you.
