1. if some terrorist was on killing spree. who's more likely to stop him? unarmed citizens or armed citizens?
use some common sense instead of links!
If some terrorist is on a shooting spree, I'm not entirely sure I'd like to add another shooter to the mix with unknown accuracy standards. An armed citizen CAN stop a terrorist, yes, but he can also make the situation FAR worse. Reality isn't Die Hard. In real life, those "terrorists" in that movie would have started executing hostages until McClane gave himself up after he killed the first guy.
2. don't know where you're coming from but i only know responsible intelligent gun owners. if your state hands out guns to nutjobs that's not my problem.
This is called a personal anecdote and is a logical fallacy. There is no way that you can take a reasonable sample size to determine the veracity of the claim you just made. Especially on a state by state basis.
3. yes they do tighten gun laws! pretty evident in the eu and soon coming to usa.
Not sure why you felt compelled to add this point, I never disagreed with this point in the post you quoted me.

ok so mine was a personal anecdote...can't remember any study from you confirming otherwise. pointless.
and last. you said "no they don't" as answer to my "they tighten gun laws".

only a matter of time before TSHTF and these so-called 'refugees' will force naive feel-good liberals to bear the brunt of their pathetic political correctness.

ISIS is not this stupid.
ISIS guy 1: Hey here is a great idea lets send thousands of the men we desperately need for our current fight to Europe hidden among refugees.
ISIS guy 2: Then what do they do? They have no weapons, way to coordinate, no way to know where they will end up, and no way to communicate. On top of that they have no training beyond being basic infantry. What exactly are they suppose to do? We need men here now, why would we send them away?
ISIS guy 1: I spent 10 years raising sheep, what do I know
This silly idea of terrorist sneaking across borders thousands of miles from where they are is nothing but, fantasy. Any organization that has the ability and the finances to coordinate a long range attack can also create the paper work needed to just fly or sail into any country and pass right through security. That is how terrorist enter countries. They are not rank armatures who are reduced to trying to sneak across borders.

You are right I think-but don't forget about ISIS guy 3-he says lets spread propaganda that we have sent loads of terrorists to Europe,which will play on the MSM induced fear factor and rile up far right extremists..
Question is-who does ISIS guy 3 get paid by?
