poll should be public as well
Trump and his xenophobic acolytes are far beyond the point of mere ignorance on this topic. How in the hell is the government supposed to identify and prevent religious extremists from purchasing weapons, without curtailing multiple constitutional rights? Freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom to assemble, right to bear arms, freedom from unreasonable search and seizure, etc.

It's relatively easy. We have two primary competing constitutional rights, freedom of religion and the right to bear arms. Flip a coin: heads we ban guns; tails we ban Islam. Flip and let Allah decide which he prefers. And Vegas would love it. And TV, it would be the ultimate Decision.
Uhhh, no it isn't. I'm all for gun regulation, but Happy Land killed more gays than this just with gasoline. If you want to take out a bunch of people, there are plenty of ways to do it.
It's not one or the other. It's basic common sense that if someone is on the terrorist watch list that they shouldn't be able guns.
Well, common sense to everyone other than the NRA and their lemming RWers.
What the hell, if you are one the watch list, you should $100 gift certificate to be used at your local gun shop.
It's common sense that nobody should be able to get guns unless they have an actual need for them.
But we don't deal in common sense on this issue
Since it is apparently so much common sense, who gets to decide who "needs" one? The little old lady who lives in the hood? The small business owner who carries cash back and forth to the bank? The farmer who needs to protect his livestock from predators? The victim of spousal abuse with the restraining order? The guy on the overnight shift at the gas station?
