Once again, the definition of ban is an "official or legal prohibition". If someone can not board an airplane with a valid passport because of a 'official or legal prohibition' he is banned from entering the United States. A ban is a ban. The amount of time has nothing to do with it.
And like I've said over and over again, while not the most accurate word, I would be fine that "ban" is used, since it's a related word....
The "problem" is omiting the context of the "changed" word, making it "seem" like something it's not. Liberal media most don't say it's a Temporary ban, most don't say it's halting until some things are fixed, etc. etc. The Imam understands it..... why don't you?
I would call it a halt on gun sales..... which is what he said. It's not a "ban". Meth is "banned". Nukes are "banned".
The problem is however, that "legal guns sales" is not where the vast majority of the gun problem resides, thus I wouldn't at all go along with it.
The gun problem resides in liberal created lax enforcement and punishment of gun crimes and criminals, so it's nothing more than a vacation to most. It's repeat offenders, and it's the mentally ill. Fix those problems, and we would have very little gun crime in this country compared to now.
In contast, Legal Immigration DOES have a problem, especially when it concerns Muslims, and even more when it concerns the current Refugee situation, which IS the further context of Trumps statement.
So, you're wrong as usual.
by the way, if I was in charge, I would completely ban Refugees etc. from entering until they can document and demonstrate that they have a legit need to be here, that they agree with American values, etc. I would have a responsiblity to my Country first, not to outsiders. Yes, I believe in being my brothers keeper, but I'm not going to kill my mother to help my brother. And they must demonstrate they are in fact my brother.
by the way, what's further funny about all this is you liberals are always up in arms about America engaging in War against Fanatical Islam, and thus helping our good Islamic Brothers outside of the country, yet you all have no problem with allowing hoards of people most of which don't agree with our values into the country, many of which who harm our brothers and sisters in our home. But I know why..... cause it's all about the votes. Immigration and Illegal Immigration benefits liberals, so it's okay. War outside the U.S. that benefits strangers not okay, cause you liberals don't get anything for it.
