As for the vetting system of refugees, it's the most stringent way for anyone to actually get into the US. There are literally a dozen other ways to get into the US that are far simpler to do. Saying that this is where to worry about keeping out the bad guys? Come on.

I wasn't negative about deleting the post. I do the same at times, especially on topics like this where you can't win. Any time you do anything in volume, there is more room for error. It's easy to get into the U.S., but not from some distant battle grounds with minimal documentation. There are others I'd rather sneak in. I just don't trust our systems.

It's like pornography.

Guns don't kill people? People kill people?

I can relate to this. I use to play with my little brother all the time. I would point my finger at him, go ra-ta-tat-tat-tat with my finger machine gun, and he would fall down dead. Amazingly he would get back up. Must have had a defective people killer.

That little guy was a cheater!

Guns just make it easier for people to kill people.

Interesting...must have been along the same time that a gun just shot someone while it laid on the ground without anyone touching it.

Well, that's just silly. If the stink eye could kill, people would be dropping all over. Give them a gun instead of a honking car horn, and you get a different outcome. I'm not saying I'm against legal gun ownership, but some people are blindly silly about this topic. Assault weapons have no place in our current society. Pornography, don't ask again, please.
