Despite being a foreigner, this terrorist was able to legally buy a gun for “hunting” purposes and murder Americans on base, who are not permitted to carry firearms. Why are we training these guys in the U.S.? All Saudis should be sent home permanently. End the program for them. Remember, most of the 9/11 terrorists were Saudis.”

We call on Apple and other technology companies to help us find a solution so that we can better protect the lives of Americans and prevent future attacks.”
