    Man, they can bake bread like nobody's business. Jams and jellies too. Also, pies and cakes.

    This is nothing but a meaningless non-answer answer. You didn't cite a single specific policy measure, and instead just gave us vague bullshit.

    First, I'd note that president has indeed "admitted there is a problem", not only through his words, but more importantly through his actions over the last eight years. That doesn't change simply because he doesn't go with the word choice you prefer. And law enforcement already is trying to work together to "identify, track and neutralize suspects." That's a non-answer that essentially amounts to nothing more than "law enforcement should do a better job..." Well, NO SHIT, that's always the easy brainless response whenever a crime has happened. But it ain't a real policy suggestion.

    And, besides, failure of law enforcement to "identify" and track was not the cause of this one. Indeed, the FBI successfully identified Mateen as a terrorist risk and placed him on the Terrorist Watch list as far back as May 2013. We correctly identified, investigated and watched this guy. Our govt already knew all about him. But the problem is our obscenely lax gun laws prevent us from stopping these guys from killing even when they have been successfully pre-identified.

    And, since you're apparently too chicken shit to give us a specific policy suggestion, allow me to try one: What say we change the law to prevent people who've been on the Terrorist Watch List from being able to walk into a store and buy an AR-15 assault rifle that was designed for no purpose other than slaughtering people? Does that not seem reasonable to you? Because, you know, it certainly ain't Obama's side of the aisle preventing that from happening.

    Liberals really don't know anything about guns, and aren't interested in the facts.

    Your idea "seems" reasonable, stoner, but it's unconstitutional. Other than that, sure, great idea.

    There is nothing unconstitutional about an assault rifle ban. Nothing.

    That's not what you proposed, boner.

    Then feel free to elaborate.

    And perhaps you could stop evading the question that started this tangent. You're on here daily ranting about muslims, and it seems to bother you greatly that others don't hate and fear muslims as much as yourself. But you won't tell us anything specific policy-wise regarding what you want us to do about it. What exactly are you proposing that we do to the muslims that we're not already doing? Do you support Trump's proposed ban on all incoming muslims? If not that, or something similar, then why spend so much time bleating at us about muslims every day?

    Are you purposely mischaracterizing numerous elements of the issue for message board effect. #rhetoricalquestion

    God forbid you ever attempt to directly answer a question.

    You mad, bro?

    Also, it would help if you a) knew what you were talking about and b) remembered what you actually typed two minutes previous.

    How clever. Did you make that one up?
