Isn't this also a major invitation? "Hey, if you're feeling unwelcome elsewhere, come build some training camps here!" We'll bend over backwards. We'll do whatever you want.

Weasels. Idiots.

The Islamo-fascist terrorists are a major reason why now more than ever OUR 2nd Amendment rights must be maintained. Including the right to own 'assault' weapons.
