And yet, you still felt the need to create a thread about this non-issue, and made sure you included "men of Middle Eastern descent firing rounds" in the title so it would be good click bait, even though even you acknowledge they did nothing wrong. And I suppose you see nothing even slightly misleading or racist or fearmongering about that, right?

Sure you don't.

You people need to figure out if you want a police state or not.

Sure you don't.
I guess all of you completely ignored the part of the article that stated where this incident took place:

Quote:
San Bernardino County Sheriff’s deputies and an FBI agent responded to the scene Sunday morning and detained the men – reportedly all of Middle Eastern descent – who were camping out in the Deep Creek Hot Springs area Sunday morning, authorities said.
Didn't we have a mass shooting in SAN BERNARDINO not even FOUR MONTHS AGO by extremists that were of MIDDLE EASTERN descent? Ok, just checking. Smh, are y'all really this disingenuous?

Exactly.
When Muslims act like this, I'd rather err on the side of caution and risk being unPC than not connect the dots with another terrorist plot.

The neighbors of the San Bernardino Muslims wouldn't report their suspicious behavior because of the fear democrats would call them racists.

Last I checked, this doesn't change anything regarding rights to shoot or assemble.

Do you suggest laws bend based on proximity to past events?

And? The police investigated, found nothing wrong, but still the OP felt the need to post it. Why? What was the point if there is no story there?

You don't have to answer that because we all know already. That headline was simply too good to pass up. Fearmongering at its finest.

Yeh. I don't think the second amendment includes firing off rounds for no reason.

Nope. I stand by my post, and the title. That was in the article. And I acknowledged that they did nothing wrong that we know of. Seventeen guys chanting Allah-Akbar while shooting lots of guns sounds pretty fishy to me.

We lose over 30 people a day in the U.S to gun violence, and I'm willing to bet that most of those are committed by Caucasian males. Maybe we need to call the cops every time we see one.

And how about these guys?

You folks have got to get your priorities straight. Terrorist acts in the U.S., including 9/11 have a long way to go before catching up to those numbers killed by illegal Mexicans, yet you seem to tolerate them because they cut your grass cheaper or some such stupidity.

Moronic.

Erm... OKay so you have 17 guys shooting guns yelling Allahu Akbar.

I think that deserves much attention, not for shooting their guns, but for yelling like terrorists while doing it. Just think how liberal gun grabbers would spin it if it were 17 white guys yelling Praise Jesus while shooting. The cops would have 5150'd them all.

If they weren't shooting into the air then it most certainly does. There's no such thing as shooting for no reason, but there is laws against shooting certain ways.

We ALL already know what the answer is.
