    You could make the argument that Armenia still is a war zone.

    There are some Armenian parts of Azerbaijan that were fought over fight after the USSR broke up but I would not call it a war zone as Syria is of Afghanistan.

    If Armenia is a war zone so are Parkland and other parts of Florida, Waffel House Tenn, parts of Chicago, Vegas, etc

    One of my grandparents escaped the Armenian genocide when, as a baby, he was put on a boat and sent here. He never talked about his Armenian heritage, he was happy to be an American in America and when my dad was born he was never taught the language. My off-the-boat Italian grandmother who married my grandfather never taught my dad Italian. Back then the key to success was assimilating and being an English speaking American. There were no prizes or benefits for simply arriving in this country, every morsel of food you ate was earned, not handed to you. My Irish relatives tell me horror stories about the discrimination they went through, it was worse than what the Italians endured. All of them were proud to be Americans and the thought of kneeling for our anthem would probably make very, very angry, especially after living through WWII.

    I wonder if van sales will boom as people try to buy one before they are banned.

    Witness report...


    As an aside, one day I'd love to visit Toronto in spring. Word has it that today was the first decent day of spring weather they have had.

    What the Turks did was horrible. My grandmother hated the Turks.She never learned english but I could sense it. I still chew mastic gum-trips people out.

    She was Greek. Her husband (my grandfather I never met, he died in the 1960's of lung cancer) was a pharmacist and owned a drug store.

    My dad came here in the early 70's.

    My mom's side was German, having come here in the 1830's-1880's. (Bavarian). A family of farmers here.

    Fully agree on assimilation. Its Americas original recipe for success.

    Do you think this terrorist attacker couldn't find love because he obsessed with Islam taking over?

    Of course not reading by the description : "Incel - short for “involuntary celibate” - is often used in connection with online groups of sexually frustrated men who are known to rant against women."

    Probably a lot of those who daily rant against islam, PC and women knew the guy .

    Evidently we need stronger van control laws.

    When vans can be loaded into a clip and fired from 500 yards away in an elevated secure position with accuracy then we can have this conversation.

    Or maybe Ryder and Uhaul can get a military contract and we can supply the troops with vans in Iraq and Afghanistan

    Why would you use a clip? They have a tool available called a magazine which is much more efficient than a clip. Clips aren’t used that much anymore. Especially since the Garand went out of service.

    There certainly should be some restrictions on a privilege.

    But how do you stop the mass killings with a van??? Vans at 500 yards are just as accurate as AR15s, and they can wipe out 20 people as easily as a 20-round clip.
