How do Muslims with guns fit into all this? 
Radical Muslims with guns are bad.
Citizens who have guns and shoot Muslims who are beheading people are good.
Radical [insert religion here] with guns are bad. Or have you never heard of the KKK?
Citizens who have guns and shoot someone trying to behead another is a good thing. So is tackling them, clubbing them, beating them up with fists and even contacting the police.
Just make sure to keep that xenophobia of yours in check on the forums BamaD!
So now he is xenophobic? Do you have any links to back up your lie or are we supposed to just take your word for it.
Do you even know what the word Xenophobia means?
My observation has been a number of posts by BamaD to which being afraid of strangers and foreigners (i.e. illegal immigrants) seem to focus his viewpoints on firearm access and usage in America. To which I have given a counter point. I try to stay friendly with BamaD, we agree on things and disagree on others. I meant the 'xenophobia' is just and a kidding manner. Unfortunately this medium of communication does not always convey that. And I sometimes do forget that.
But there are others on this forum whom are even more xenophobic; otherwise Immigration Reform / Southern Border Security, would not be seen so commonly on these here forums. Why all the discussion and fear of scared little kids crossing the border by conservatives? Enough to have armed bands of pseudo-militia types hunting them down? Confusing drug smugglers with scientists observing bats? Or of a US President coming to office that is not white? One of the key definitions of the word, conservative, is not being open to new things. 'How it was' is 'How it should be now', is a conservative notion. That white people have always been President, should be the same now as it was then. Therefore, it makes it easy to understand how xenophobia would creep into the mindset, right? This nation has had people coming across its border to live in this nation since the 18th century. Only in modern times (i.e. last twenty years), has the issue of the person's 'right' to live here been a problem. Many conservatives like to use the founding fathers to justify one thing or another; even if it runs counter to the very people they are speaking on (do a google search on misquotes on the founding fathers....very curious stuff). Was illegal immigration and border security a real issue to the founding fathers in the 18th century? That we should place gigantic walls and heavily armed guards that also serve in the US Military along the southern borders of 18th century United States of America?

Not that I would ever doubt the word of someone who claims the KKK is now a religion 
You never watched The West Wing? Season 3 Episode 1, aired on Oct 31st, 2001. Its on Netflix.
Do you deny that illegal immigrants are a problem?
Recognizing this does not constitute xenophobia.
Were it not for LEGAL immigration most of my ancestors, like everyone else on here, would not be here.
The rest of my ancestors had a open borders immigration policy and look were it got them.
Thinking that radical Islam is a threat, it is contact with reality.
Note that I said radical Islam not Islam.
Believing in the individual rather than the state is the territory that liberals are supposed to stake out but they would be better labeled as stateist.
Personally I consider myself to be more libertarian than conservative.
Anyone who thinks that large portions of the Constitution is outmoded is a threat to freedom, even if they think they increase freedom.
Conservative comes from conserve, to protect what we have that is good and not to throw the baby out with the wash. It does not mean to oppose all change, just not to embrace it for the sake of change.
