What about gun laws and marginally allied military students

Post by Niner » Sat Dec 07, 2019 3:19 pm

The other day an Arabian military student went on a shooting rampage at the Navel base in Pensacola. This is a guy from the military in Saudi Arabia...the same Saudi Arabia that killed the Post reporter and vanished his body. The same Saudi region Trump is selling lots of arms to in order for the Arabs to kill a lot of people in another small country with a different Muslim cult than their own. It seems he wasn't the only Saudi involved in what looks like a terrorist attack.
PENSACOLA, Fla. (AP) — The Saudi student who fatally shot three people at a U.S. naval base in Florida hosted a dinner party earlier in the week where he and three others watched videos of mass shootings, a U.S. official told The Associated Press on Saturday.

One of the three students who attended the dinner party videotaped outside the building while the shooting was taking place at Naval Air Station Pensacola on Friday, said the U.S. official, who spoke on condition of anonymity after being briefed by federal authorities. Two other Saudi students watched from a car, the official said.

The official said 10 Saudi students were being held on the base Saturday while several others were unaccounted for.
Since Saudi nationals were mostly the ones involved in 9/11, why would we even think about promoting and educating the Saudi military in the first place, and why did these students, learning about flying military aircraft have legal access to firearms...assuming they did?

Nor on ours, and If it does come up it will be partly hidden and not repeated, thus allowing a cop-out that it was on the News.

It was reported in the Telegraph this morning but I have been at a Frankton commemoration all day and not had time to comment.
A disgraceful atrocity but we will keep getting involved with these people, even though we know how unreliable they are.......

Alshamrani used a Glock 9 mm weapon that had been purchased legally in Florida, Rojas said. DeSantis questioned whether foreigners should continue to be allowed under federal law to buy guns in the U.S. and called it a “federal loophole.”

Republican DeSantis said he supports that the Second Amendment but that it “does not apply to Saudi Arabians.”

DeSantis is the Florida Republican Governor.

Now the story is more confused by the investigating authorities as to if it was an act involving more than one person or not..... the FBI spokeswoman reply to the question of the dinner party with at least three others watching terrorist shooting and their possible involvement was met with no comment statement.
