Trump's travel ban is really saving Americans from terrorist attacks?

Nearly every US terror attack since 9/11 has been from US-born citizens. This one is no exception, if considered a terrorist attack. How about Trump does something useful like making fully-and semi-auto guns tougher/impossible for mentally ill people to obtain rather than blocking poor immigrants from entering the US?

all of your answers suck balls. no top answer will be rewarded

    There are already more than 20,000 gun laws in this country. What other law would you recommend be enacted BY CONGRESS to prevent someone from getting a firearm? What is the connection between blocking terrorists from entering our country pretending to be "immigrants" and keeping firearms out of the hands of people who belong in asylums? Fully automatic weapons have been illegal nd nearly impossible to obtain legally for more than half a century.

    Do you even know what a terrorist attack is?? It is an attack intended to create and spread fear and terror amongst the populace. We do not know if that was his motive yet, or if he was just a looney tune.

    I think all guns should be single shot.

    Why do you stupid brain dead liberal idiots continue to ask such stupid questions that are not even questions that make you look even more stupid than you already are? If that is at all possible.

    Trump doesn't have that power or authority. Only Congress can pass gun laws. Maybe it's time you learned how your government works.

    The travel restrictions are not really what he wanted, they are diluted from the first and second proposals. (it was NOT a ban on travel, just limited the entry from certain countries). They would have helped. The people who emigrate even as refugees from conflicts caused by the U.S. have children who become terrorists. They hold a grudge even if they have come to U.S. as children.
