New Al Qaeda Video Instructs U.S. Muslims to Buy Guns, Start Killing
Edited on Fri Jun-03-11 05:14 PM by RamboLiberal
In a chilling video released Friday, American-born Al Qaeda spokesman Adam Gadahn instructs U.S. Muslims to arm themselves at local gun stores and "target major institutions and public figures," reports ABC News. The most disturbing part of the video, titled "Do Not Rely on Others, Take the Task Upon Yourself," is Gadahn's matter-of-fact tone. "What are you waiting for?" he asks with impeccable English. "America is absolutely awash with easily obtainable firearms. You can go down to a gun show at the local convention center and come away with a fully automatic assault rifle, without a background check, and most likely without having to show an identification card."

Fully auto? Wonder where the hell he got that info. Otherwise in some states he is correct.

2. Even the bad guy lies;
"You can go down to a gun show at the local convention center and come away with a fully automatic assault rifle, without a background check, and most likely without having to show an identification card."

NO ONE is going to sell a $15,000 full auto at a gun show or any gun shop without doing all of the required paperwork. NO ONE.

6. Not so much as a civil war as a brief but intense bout of "ethnic cleansing"
Well, "religious cleansing," strictly speaking. The end result would definitely be more dead muslims than dead non-muslims. Which makes this prick's message essentially an invitation to be a useful and extremely expendable idiot.

And he's learned everything he knows from reading the Brady Campaign's website.

8. Well, there is one little hitch to that -
the neo-nazis who are the ones selling the full-auto AKs out of the trunks of their cars are not too likely to sell them to any A-rabs.

I can just see it "Well, heah you go Ahmed - would you like a copy of Turner Diary to go with that?"

18. Don't be disingenuous -
the guys selling Nazi memorabilia and copies of Turner Diaries - they're the ones selling automatic weapons under the counter (unless, of course, they are undercover FBI or ATF guys suckering in the crazies).

Don't try to tell me they don't exist.

19. What is becoming of all these full autos?
Why has it been 20 years since a murder was committed with a full auto in the US? Surely some of these felons selling these illusive pieces or the felons buying them would, at least occasionally, commit a murder with their killin' machine? I think this is a figment of your imagination and the influence of Hollywood on you.

20. Well, there was that storage shed here in NC that the ATF
found a half-dozen fully automatic weapons, a couple dozen semi-autos and bomb making materials. That was about 4 years ago IIRC

There there was was the one found in Texas a couple years ago, pretty much the same.

Ever hear of The Brotherhood aka The Order?

How about The Cross, The Sword, The Arm of the Lord, in MO back in the 90s.

Christian Identity, neo-nazis, KKK...

Where the fuck have you been living for the last 3 decades?

21. You have no idea what or who I know..
I have met, conversed, and worked for one of the only living founders of the AB, along with 30 other members of AB and DWB leadership in 9 states over a 3 year period.

now answer the question. Why no murders in 20 years if we are, in fact, awash in automatic weapons. Like I said, too much tv.

23. Maybe you remember this?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Hollywood_shootout

It was sheer luck that no one but the perps died.

But they were just a couple thugs - immaterial to this. Why no murders? (And who says there have been NO murders with auto weapons for 20 years?)

As I described, these are in the hands, and storage sheds, of racist anti-American militant groups - and they are waiting for the the time to ripen. Full auto weapons are confiscated by the police all the time - often in arsenals as I described. The Branch Davidians had two .50 caliber machineguns. Of course, if you're a white christian you can't be a terrorist, so you don't hear about it.

BTW, I never said we are awash in automatic weapons - those were the words of the idiot in the OP who I was making fun of. But I will guarantee you, there are a hell of a lot more than you, or the ATF, knows. We've had what, 3 million soldiers rotate through Iraq and Afghanistan over the last 10 year - if you don't think that thousands of military grade weapons have found their way back to the States, you are deluding yourself. You may not hear much about it, but soldiers are busted smuggling them through Bragg here on a regular basis. Just like during Vietnam, just like during Korea and WW2. Admittedly, thousands, added to the 500,000 legally registerd auto weapons in the coutry, isn't much, especially compared to the couple hundred million non-auto weapons. But just because they are a vanishingly small percentage, doesn't mean they aren't out there, and you know it.

25. If it wasn't for that one single incident
I could state there have not been any violent crimes committed with an automatic weapon in the US in 30 years. They killed nobody.

And who says there have been NO murders with auto weapons for 20 years?

I do. Show me a single one in the US.

Full auto weapons are confiscated by the police all the time - often in arsenals as I described.

Yeah and a shoe string is defined as an automatic weapon by the BATFE. Nobody said that there aren't a few illegal autos around. You are making the fictitious claim that they are readily available and often sold at gun shows which is complete horse shit.

27. Oh, you want to go back 30 years -
to 1981.

Tnat takes us back to the Alan Berg murder by The Order, in 84, with a full auto MAC-10. To the MO Highway Patrolman killed by the CSA (Covenant, Sword, Arm of the Lord - I mis-remember the name above) in 85. And of course, the AFF & police killed by automatic weapons fire by the Branch Davidians in 93.

YOU are creating a strawman argument in claiming I am saying they are 'readily available' and 'often' sold at gun shows, and THAT is horseshit - what I AM saying is gun shows are a meeting point for those who want to purchase illegal automatic weapons, and that the CAN be found (if you have the right bonafides) within a certain specific criminal element - racist neo-nazis, who are arming for an apocalyptic end-time scenario. Like The Order, and Branch Davidians.

Of course, if you've been hanging with the racist, paranoid, little-dick fuckwads of the Aryan Brotherhood, you would know more about that than I.

29. Yeah, I've 'hung' with a lot of people
who I am sure you and some of the rest of society would like to deny rights to...would like to deny the existence of. This particular group of undesirables, all serving life sentences without parole already, became the target of Bush Justice Dept in an attempt to gain death sentences for them. I am sure there are many here who would applaud this. I happened to assist in their defense under a request and subsequent order from a US District Court Judge.

In your post #18 you certainly make it sound as if you believe this is common practice and readily available. You even went so far as to accuse the poster of being disingenuous for not acknowledging your assertion that this is well known and common.

31. Actually, *you* claimed something for which you provided no links or cites for.
And the one link that you did provide had nothing do do with your claim.

Wait for it... this "story" will get exposure (along with a scathing "we told you so"), on the Brady website by Tuesday or Wednesday at the latest.

I've already read some of the revenge fantasies posted on the internets.

Probably best for all parties involved if this never happens...Ya think?

22. Presumably, provoking such a reaction is the object
If a small number of muslims committed terrorist actions, and there were a disproportionate backlash against the entire American muslim community (and along the way any number of brown-skinned people who "look muslim") in response, it would be a massive understatement to say it would strain relations between the United States and the muslim world. And that is what I'm guessing our al-Qaeda poster boy hopes to achieve. I can only hope that American muslims--even though with a beef with American society--are smart enough to see the set-up.

28. Yes, that logic is sound and the endgame would be bloody.
VERY bloody.
Sheesh, Islamic radicals really don't give a flying fuck about their own followers.

Cannon fodder for the megalomaniacs - Seems to be somewhat of a familiar trend these last several years.

"A video was released Friday showing Al Qaeda spokesman Adam Gadahn calling on American Muslims to take up arms within the United States. The video upon release caused thousands of American militia members to simultaneously jizz in their army fatigues. The largest group orgasm ever documented, according to a spokesperson representing Guinness World Records."

33. AQ is all about guns shows and straw buyers now
Edited on Sat Jun-04-11 03:25 PM by jpak
They can get AK's with 75 round magazines, Glocks with 30 round magazines, .50 cal rifles and Uzis and more there.

They can use the gun-sow-loophole to arm themselves to the teeth without the ATF's knowledge

Good going GOP/NRA

you suck

yup
