    Thats a joke right ??? Osama was irrelevant...

    Newt Gingrich was the 'boogieman' long before that ...then came Vice President Dick Cheney and Don Rumsfeld and General BetrayUS.....

    The imaginary "boogiemen" created by the fear mongering leftist pinheads and smear merchants......
    Put blame where it belongs
    ATF decided it could not regulate bump stocks during the Obama administration.
    It that time," the NRA wrote in a statement. "The NRA believes that devices designed to allow semiautomatic rifles to function like fully-automatic rifles should be subject to additional regulations."
    The ATF and Obama admin. ignored the NRA recommendations.

    And I see you still make fun of the color alerts like it was a joke.....well laugh this off...


    The HSAS threat level has changed 17 times as of September 2009......during President Obamas term.....

    Called the "terror alert level" by the U.S. media., The system was, as scheduled, phased out April 27, 2011 and replaced with a new system called the National Terrorism Advisory System.

    Not at all onecell...though this may be a little advance for you.

    Osama was irrelevant...Pres. Bush, remember....you made a big thing of that just a few days ago....
    and
    Pres. Obama used the same HSAS threat level system, changed 17 times as of September 2009......
    it was the US system, neither Republican nor democrat....

    evince is wrong on both counts....and you batting 1000....always wrong and rarely clever.

    Do you disagree that "they do it too?"

    All American news networks do that, including Fox.

    That's why I watch BBC. 0_o

One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power." -O'Brien, Nineteen Eighty-Four

    why are you asking questions when you can't answer questions posed to you?

    1. is it your claim that only fox news sells fear?

    2. did i defend fox in this thread?

    until you answer questions posed to you, you have no right to ask anyone questions
