I'm all for admitting that we have an Islamic extremist problem but what is the solution? I think the left doesn't want to admit there is a problem because they don't have a solution, so it digs into their mantra of always being right. Conservatives admit we have a problem but have no solution. So the question remains what do we do? If the election is any indicator we aren't getting a solution anytime soon. As Hillary will probably call for more
Bombing and wars, and to think Trump is some tough guy he just wants to be isolationist and racist.
sad, indeed. what about the other 5,865 killed and 12K+ injured in 2016 so far?
Put a stop to immigration from these countries unless the people are thoroughly vetted and hold secular beliefs that are compatible with western democracy. No more wackos. Go read the WaPo interview with the shooter's father. It will leave you scratching your head how this fucking idiot was ever allowed into the country to begin with and why he hasn't been sent back.

No short term solution for radical Islam. No short term solution for the gun problem either.
Is your solution for the government to seize over 100 million guns? How do you think that will go over?

Our leadership (or in the alternative, current management) should confirm what we all know to be true: we (Earth) have a problem with Islamic fundamentalism, and that problem can no longer be paved over with euphemisms about work-place violence and #notallMuslims knee-jerk denials. I heard what the apologists said, but I also heard Courtney Love assure all of us she was sober on the Roast of Pam Anderson. At some point, evidence wins.
If the right is willing to talk and act (yet to be proven) about curtailing the privileges for all us based on the irresponsibility of a few of us, at the very least is the left at willing to talk (the prelude to action) about what privileges are on the table until we (Earth) get a handle on the Islamic problem? Grand bargains--the best kind--require compromise.
Because there's no short term solution for either doesn't mean we shouldn't take steps to fix them.
Ok, as someone who leans left - yes. There is an issue with a radical population acting in horrific ways under the belief that they're acting out their religion.
Ta daa! So then what? Seriously. What are you suggesting is the resulting action of this "grand bargain" when it comes to dealing with actual people?

Why don't I give you this super-satisfying response of saying that I know several, hundreds even, moderate gun owners who just want the same things for their families that you want for yours, and I know for a fact that they haven't committed a mass shooting all year. #notAllgunowners, so there's no problem, right?

If we're willing to ask others to compromise all of our rights because of the irresponsibility of a few (this is what the left asks of the gun-owning right), is it not fair to ask the same in return (electronic surveillance of international communications, international travel lists, the nonsensical canard of subjecting octogenarian women in wheel chairs to the same random screening as MAMs traveling from Islamic countries on one-way tickets)?
OK? what does this have to do with a discussion of practical measures to address issues of gun availability and preventing gun violence?
agree with all those measures for countering terrorism
now lets' talk about disaffected white people shooting children in schools with their mother's AR-15s. and gang gun violence. and toddlers shooting people.
