3. Rubbish. There was no NRA in Paris during the two attacks

The issue is not the NRA, it's radical Islam.

(and, in this case, the affordability of mental health care)

BTW, I bet some posters here will remind you of who you sound like.

I hope you're being facetious.

7. It's just that I am disgusted by this endless terrorism

I've been to all the places where there where mass islamic shootings. Makes me feel sick.
I makes me feel even worse that the victims were slaughtered like cattle.

So no, calling for the mass ownership of weapons isn't a straw man or whatever. Sadly, we know there will be other attacks until the balloon of jihadi idealism has been pricked. There will be other random attacks in public places all over Europe and the US.

If you really think radical Islam is the issue, go vote for Trump.

17. If you do not think radical Islam is an issue, get ready for more Donald Trumps

This Donald Trump will -hopefully- fail this year.

Get ready for more articulate Donald Trumps in the future if the Democratic Party doesn't wise up to the danger of radical Islam, of screening immigrants from regions where radical Islam is taught, and of keeping tabs on Muslim Brotherhood controlled mosques in the US.
