The fact that some of the 9/11 terrorists were from Saudi Arabia was largely ignored at the time that it happened, so why would it matter now? Within moments, people were saying they were from Iraq or Canada or any number of places.
Once again, what does a bombing have to do with the use of the 2nd amendment?
“Second amendment remedies” refer to watering the tree of liberty with the blood of tyrants. I would not expect such patriots to concern themselves with such pedantry as the distinction between firearms and explosives in the throwing off the shackles of oppression.

Alex Jones says the government did it to cast blame on the teabaggers, and get people’s minds off the drop in gold prices.
FWIW, didn’t think of this before, but today is “Patriot’s Day”
This keeps happening and pretty soon the government is going to be coming for our Constitutionally guaranteed right to bear bombs.
Let’s save a little outrage for the continuing Republican blocking of the appointment of an ATF director. Since they’re one of the agencies that respond to events like this, it sure would be nice if the agency had a director and the staff had clear lines of authority. But since the public safety takes a second place to continued fealty to the Second Half Of The Second Amendment, this stonewalling will continued. So eat shit, Repubicans!
They’ll have my Ishtar when they pry it out of my region-unlocked DVD player.
We are to be subjected to the same ten seconds of videotape a couple thousand times. But does it seem to anyone else that the explosions were rather small? And the timing? I would have thought that a terrorist would have timed for maximum drama, as the first runners cross the line.
Bad craziness.
“A well-modulated terror being essential to the vigilance of a free state, the right of the people to keep and plant improvised explosive devices shall not be infringed.”
At this point, let us all simply agree that, whoever They are or whyever They did this, They’ve got a lot worse coming than a Pitting on the Dope.
My list of those I hope had no part in this is longer than its opposite. Much longer.
Dude, we’re all very, very fortunate that most terrorists (and serial killers, etc.) are dumbasses.
Yeah, remember how bad things got for Saudi Arabia after 9/11, what with the invasion and everything? Or the way well connected Saudis were detained by the Bush administration instead of being spirited out of the country on private jets?
Oh yeah. Me, I’d throw them in the quarry and then throw stuff down there at them.
If so, I hope it turns out to be a Commie terrorist for once. Just to prove they still have some life in 'em, this long after the 1970s.
Already?!
Or, what is betterworse, incompetent craziness.
Not that the current Administration has any less need of their oil . . .
