NASHVILLE, TN Islamic extremists have seized control of cities across the United States and have enacted sharia law, according to a speaker at the National Rifle Associations annual meeting who spoke about current and emerging threats to American gun owners.
Author Steve Tarani said during a presentation in Nashville on Sunday that he has witnessed the alleged no-go zones areas where police cannot enter while shadowing a friend who serves on the Detroit Metro SWAT Police on a drive in Dearborn, MI. He described pulling up to one of the alleged Muslim-controlled areas:
The street signs suddenly went from English to Arabic. There wasnt a single English word on any shop or any street sign. And in fact, these little yellow signs were posted all along the edges. Jeremy said to me, this is it. We dont go past this line. And I said to Jeremy, what do you mean? You guys are Detroit Metro. Youre the SWAT team. You can go anywhere you want. What if you get a call over there? He said this is it, its hazardous for our team if we go past this line.
Leave it to the NRA to dream up another ridiculous excuse why people need guns.

Little metal spikes on friendship bracelets. Anyway...I have ideas but that little voice keeps me from rubbing my hands together doing my Mr. Burns voice...but still.

(60,010 posts)According to these same sources, coyotes engaged in human smuggling and working for Juárez Cartel help move ISIS terrorists through the desert and across the border between Santa Teresa and Sunland Park, New Mexico. To the east of El Paso and Ciudad Juárez, cartel-backed coyotes are also smuggling ISIS terrorists through the porous border between Acala and Fort Hancock, Texas. These specific areas were targeted for exploitation by ISIS because of their understaffed municipal and county police forces, and the relative safe-havens the areas provide for the unchecked large-scale drug smuggling that was already ongoing.
Mexican intelligence sources report that ISIS intends to exploit the railways and airport facilities in the vicinity of Santa Teresa, NM (a US port-of-entry). The sources also say that ISIS has spotters located in the East Potrillo Mountains of New Mexico (largely managed by the Bureau of Land Management) to assist with terrorist border crossing operations. ISIS is conducting reconnaissance of regional universities; the White Sands Missile Range; government facilities in Alamogordo, NM; Ft. Bliss; and the electrical power facilities near Anapra and Chaparral, NM.
Judicial Watch is a very right website.
Info wars parrots this story.

What a maroon!
And in my earlier days we would go to Hamtramck, a city surrounded by Detroit, to buy polish food and stuff. Not one sign on Joseph Campau street was in English. It was all Polish.

(7,911 posts)My grandmother lived in Hamtramck, or very close to it (All I remember is she was off Van Dyke Ave. on Pressler, in a two-story brick house that looked identical to every other house on the block.) Her third (or maybe it was her fourth) husband was Polish. I remember driving past the big auto plant on the way to her house. That was in the mid 1950's.

I guess fear sells lots of guns and memberships.

(2,741 posts)that anyone speaking at an NRA meeting would be beating his/her teeth...more guns to make us safe (I don't know who we are supposed to be safe from)...More wars...munitions makers are not rich enough...more bowing down to the politicians who will assure we are safe from some unknown threat...
Must admit, though, that these self-same speakers do not give ONE SHIT about the health and well-being of the cloth-brained people they are speaking to.
