A new study on domestic terrorism, conducted by New America's David Sterman and Peter Bergen, found that right-wing terrorism in the United States has killed 48 people since September 2001. Those include attacks by white supremacists, neo-Nazis, and anti-government radicals.
By comparison, the study found that jihadist attacks killed 26 people in the same time period. That number only includes wholly domestic attacks, and does not include terrorism committed against Americans or American service members abroad.

Because it is in the hands of a Muslim.

Both lack proper trigger discipline, so neither should be near firearms.
Also, (I'm not sure, but...) the rifle on the right looks like it has a full-auto/giggle switch.

I don't see the woman's finger on the trigger in the picture on the left. I see glare from the trigger which at first glance looked like her finger.
Both of those weapons should have selector switches, but that wouldn't necessarily mean they are full auto.
I didn't think to ask until later, but how can blutarsky tell the weapon on the left is legal?

My mistake with the TD on the left.
You are correct.
I know both AR's and M16's have selector switches.
I cannot clearly see switch on the left, but the one on the right looks as if it is switched into the position for full auto.
That being said, it doesn't necessarily mean it's illegal, as I don't know what country/state/province they are in, nor knowledge of law for anywhere other than the USA (still would have to look up, per state to be sure).
So, I guess there is literally no proof that the gun on the right is illegal.
Does Sharia Law prohibit such a thing, maybe ?

I can't see either selector switch well enough to determine anything. I don't know if Sharia law prohibits such a thing. But, when we were confiscating weapons in Iraq we had to leave one weapon in every household for self defense. Even though there were probably ten others we didn't find.

Psychologically, that seems a good route to go.
I'm sure there were more AKs buried than you could shake a camel spider at.
Damn their loose tolerances, anyway !

I can't tell.
I'm not a gun expert nor did create the meme. It was obviously created in response to the moron who created the first one.
But even if the statement implying the bible thumpers gun was legal is wrong, it does nothing to take the edge off the stupidity of the first meme.

What about people who used the holy book on the left to say blacks were less than whites?
