In order to stop the threat of ISIS in Southeast Asia, the US government must take measures to cut off ISIS’ access to firearms from the United States.
A few days ago, Reuters reported that the Trump administration is preparing legislation that would make it easier for American gun manufacturers to sell weapons abroad. Aides are supposedly preparing to shift oversight of non-military firearms from the State Department to the Commerce Department.
This development is worrying, because at present ISIS – and other terror groups – rely on US made weapons. A major portion of ISIS’ growth in recent years has occurred in the Philippines, where it has become more active and caused chaos, culminating in a recent attack on Marawi. One of the reasons it has done more damage is its ability to acquire more powerful weapons and deliver them to militias through its supply lines, and this process is reliant on the group’s ability to legally acquire US-made weapons. Making it easier to do so is not a good idea.

Kill every damn one of them!
why not stop the clowns in Washington from supplying weapons to ISIS ?
After the Las Vegas terrorist incident, we should be more vigilant against American progressivists.
Stop giving them U.S. weapons?
The media has been instigating, even supporting calls for, Trump supporters to be murdered.
It seems one of their progressivist terrorists took them seriously.
Lock up Holder and Obama?
there’s no way to stop anyone from acquiring a few firearms or any other normal weapons
very large shipments can often (but not always) be detected, of course, but, aside from serendipity, it requires major investments of serious spying resources (and in this instance, on a global scale)
Israel has one of the very best intelligence operations anywhere, and Muslims still keep attacking Israeli schools, shops, homes, you name it...with weapons
it is the attackers, the terrorists that need to be eliminated.....their toys don’t shoot by themselves
And glad he used the Mindanao example. It's an island. It is the perfect battleground in which to exterminate. Get with it President Duterte.
we already did the first step: make sure obamatard isn’t president anymore...
The wars in Iraq, Libya and Syria since 2003 have caused astronomical amounts of weapons, ammunition and explosives to be looted from military bases by various rebel and terrorist groups. Then there is the direct arming of rebels and terrorists in Libya and Syria. Other sources of arms from US suppliers to these terrorists are a drop in the ocean.
Another Congressional bill that is like putting a band aid on someone who has been decapitated.
Keep John McCain at home?
Kill them all, send them our idiot Congress critters that are arming them, and end all CIA/obamunist programs to arm them with prejudice and the understanding that disobeying leads to treason charges and death.
Obama,Clinton and McCain did a good job of that.
Simple. Stop sending ISIS weapons and stop letting ISIS into the US.
This is horsesht. This is the kind of argument that sees weapons lack of access for South Sudanese and zcroates while the other side gets all the stuff they need from communist nations and islamists.
No UN treaty ban, period.
Exactly, ISIS weaponization was a political problem like Fast and Furious , not a weapon free flow problem, but a selective discrimination of weapon delivery at the whi, of politicians, lobbies and presure groups.
We need to buy them up as fast as they make them.
Plan A: Kill ISIS; then we don’t have to worry about them getting guns.
Plan B: Kill ISIS and don’t worry about where the survivors will get their guns; AKs are cheaper than ours, so they don’t want many of our guns in any case.
