So much for Democrats courting gun owners

Europe is currently fixing its population problems by immigrating a ton of Muslims in from the middle East. DOesn't take rocket science to figure out that some of them will be whacked and opt to bring Europe to its knees in the future. An armed populace would not let this happen.

From aaken: I come from a country that was invaded by almost everybody, greeks, romans, saracens, normans, longobards, goths, franks, vandals, huns...Myself, I'm actually descending from frankish family that settled first in Catalonia in the IX century then south of Italy and Sicily in the XI-XII century. Yet, now, in the XXI century, we are a state, we have laws to regulate immigration and we have police forces to uphold those laws. How they are effective can be debated. But personally, an armed populace that start shooting indiscriminately people because they have a different color of skin, because they come from another country in search for a better life, I think that is barbaric. But maybe I'm just a naive leftist.

I wouldn't consider that to be the opinon of a naive leftist, I would consider that to be a very rational opinion. However, I would be very very concerned if my elected representative did not act to curb the influx of individuals who had no desire embrace the core values of the nation-state they are entering into. Those core values, being at its most basic:
1. Separation of Church and State.
2. Republican form of government.
3. Libertarianism.
Those are very broad, and we could argue of semantics of them, but I am against the influx of anybody who thinks my nation-state would be better off under Shria law.

Do you get in trouble for straying off topic if you started the thread?
