Why don't we ban the sale of guns while we are at it. Because someone that is a US citizen "might" shot someone. It's the same logic

Yep. When one of the 2 major parties is debating whether or not boys should use the boys' locker room, the complete collapse of civilization cannot be too far behind.

When I started my career at Aetna, on my first day, the HR person gave me a tour, then walked me to my desk and told me to get to work. It never occurred to me to ask where the designated "safe space" was, or to tell him that I use the ladies' room because I choose to identify myself that way even though I have a wee wee. And one day, when some people at my table in thecafeteria said that Catholics were just a bunch of child molesters , it never occurred to me that I should march into to the CEOs office, tell him that my hurt feelings were his fault, and ask him to (1) denounce his white male priviledge, and then (2) resign.

Security would have dragged me out of there by by neck, and taken me to the closest mental institution. Which is probably Wesleyan University.

Not remotely the same logic. First, we have a Constitution that we are not allowed to violate, and the 2nd Amendment of said Constitution says that the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. That's pretty clear language. Where in the Constitution does it say we have to allow in refugees?

Second, a gun is an inanimate object. Left alone, it cannot harm anyone. A terrorist is actively trying to murder as many civiliands as possible.
