    A lot of these posts won't let people carry firearms, unless they are MPs, or are going to or from the firing range.

    I saw this on the news earlier.

    What I thought was funny was that they got caught because they took one of their videos of them shooting guns and yelling terrorist type stuff to a store for some reason and the person working there turned them in.

    If I was working a video store and a bunch of guys that looked like these guys came in and had a video of them yelling stuff in aribic and shooting guns I would of called the fbi also.
    These guys were just asking to get caught.
    They didnt really seem to have things together very well.

    I thought this was kind of interesting it is a timeline of events in the Fort Dix terrorist plot. I found it here

    A timeline of events leading up to the arrest Monday night of six Islamic militants who allegedly planned to attack Fort Dix:
    _ Jan. 31, 2006: A shopkeeper alerted the FBI about a "disturbing" video he had been asked to copy onto a DVD. The video showed 10 young men in their early 20s shooting assault weapons at a firing range earlier that month. The group called for jihad (a holy war) and shouted in Arabic 'Allah Akbar' (God is great).

    _ March: An FBI informant infiltrated the group by developing a relationship with Mohamad Shnewer.

    _ May 26: Shnewer told the informant to look at particular DVD files on his laptop. One file contained what appeared to be the last will and testament of at least two of the hijackers involved in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks; another contained images of Osama bin Laden and other Islamic extremists calling on the viewer to join the jihadist movement.

    _ July 7: A second informant was approached by six men, one of whom, later identified as Eljvir Duka, invited the informant to his home.

    _ July 29: In a meeting recorded by the second informant, Shnewer showed several videos on his laptop computer that depicted armed attacks on U.S. military personnel.

    _ Aug. 1, 2 and 5: Shnewer told the first informant that he, Serdar Tatar, Dritan Duka, Eljvir Duka, Shain Duka and others were planning to attack a U.S. military base, and Shnewer specifically named Fort Dix, explaining that they could kill at least 100 soldiers by using rocket-propelled grenades.

    _ Aug. 5: Shnewer told the first informant they need to conduct surveillance of military bases to decide which one to attack.

    _ Aug. 11: Shnewer and the first informant traveled to Fort Dix to conduct surveillance. During the trip, Shnewer told the informant the plan was to "hit four, five, six Humvees and light the whole place (up) and retreat completely without any losses." The two also drove to Lakehurst Naval Air Station. Law enforcement officers also observed Shnewer drive by himself to Fort Monmouth later that day.

    [...]

    _ Nov. 12: Tatar told the first informant he would acquire a map of Fort Dix from his father's restaurant and described an area of the post which they could attack and cause a power outage, making it easier to mount the attack on military personnel. At the end of the meeting, Tatar asked if the informant was a federal agent. (It was unclear how the informant responded.)

    _ Nov. 15: In an attempt to find out if the informant was a federal agent, Tatar told a sergeant with the Philadelphia Police Department that he had been approached by an individual who asked him to provide maps of Fort Dix and that he thought the incident was terrorist-related.

    _ Nov. 28: Tatar told the first informant that he would provide a map of Fort Dix even though it could lead to his being deported. He expressed his continuing suspicions about the informant, saying, "I'm gonna do it. Whether you are or not (FBI), I'm gonna do it. Know why? ... It doesn't matter to me, whether I get locked up, arrested, or get taken away, it doesn't matter. Or I die, doesn't matter, I'm doing it in the name of Allah." Later that evening, Tatar left a map of Fort Dix in an area near the informant's residence.

    [...]

    _ Dec. 8: Shnewer told the first informant that the group had missed an opportunity to attack military personnel at the Army-Navy football game in Philadelphia the previous weekend....

    this was just somethin to scare everyone into thinking terrorism is still a major threat inside of the US.

    if it is, well tahts because we suck and go to war with everybody. We haven't had one year of peace since the great depression, and that wasn't really a nice peace wasit.

    What do you want us to explain? :confused:

    I think you should take up this discussion with little willy and ask him why he is interested in nuking other countries while ignoring the Arabs in USA? Isn't the point of your post to emphasize the danger of domestic terrorism? No one with certainty can say which Arab is terrorist, which one is peaceful and which one is part of a sleeper cell; so what do you suggest Arnie? Do you think the government should kill all the Arabs and their Children in USA or do you think they should put them in camps like Japanese during WWII until the war on terrorism is ended?

    I would be also interested to know what is little willy suggestion about dealing with these Arabs who live in USA and are potential suicide bombers. ;) :rolleyes:

    Federal law. You also cannot carry a firearm into the post office, even if you have a CCW license. Having a "duh" moment?

    You can also have a firearm on post going to or from designated hunting areas. I used to hunt when I was stationed at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. In essence, all you are doing is repeating federal law. Did you have a point?

    Back when I was in the Army, we could bring weapons on post, unloaded, with chamber exposed, for storage in the local unit Armory.

    They should make you the poster boy/girl for future Republican party, a gay transvestite living in a trailer park, collecting government checks. :D

    Did it hurt? The things you wish to openly inform the world you "think" about are very disturbing. Now we learn that in addition to a fetish for little boys, you also "think" about transvestites to. You need mental help.

    Just like a French Canadian to use "appertain" in place of a more carefully chosen word. My guess is the "I think..." part taxed what little brain cells are bouncing around in Julian's head.
