How does this fit with the idea of disarming the Americans, and pushing harder on gun controls?

They were talking about overseas intel regarding how fast they were moving, taking over regions and what kind of weaponry they had.
Nothing to do with domestic threats.

You don't view the fact that over 100 ISIS members have American passports (are / were U.S. citizens) as a threat or at least a concern?

And I would never argue that point good Sir.
It's about what you are prepping for that's the problem.
Like those idiots pre 2012 who sold all their stuff and went into hiding or bunkers or wtv.

That number is actually 12.

Or maybe 20.

It's all propaganda. Besides if they've identified 100 people, don't you think it would be hard for them to get back in the country?
Hell I have a hard time flying across the country without being checked out 20 times by security.

There is a difference in being prepared and being conditioned into a state of paranoia.......
They are making people worried and scared, which will (in this case) allow the war machine to carry on it's monetary plundering of the country. This is pure psyops to get the American people in a state of mind that we will allow them to spend spend spend, as long as it makes us feel safer.......
I'm not buying into it.

But what is happening is that people like you saying it's crazy to worry are fueling the mentality that someone will be there to bail you out if/when a disaster strikes.
When people say - preppers are crazies - then it stops people from doing prudent preperation for a disaster, natural or otherwise.
Constant ridicule of preppers makes the sheeple think, it is not cool, or it is bad to be prepared for a disaster.
What is bad is people not being prepared for a disaster.
I had to learn that the hard way.
I had to drive over 8 hours go get outside of our disaster area to bring back supplies and gas for the family.
Never again.
I will be prepared, regardless of being ridiculed for doing so.
When the next natural disaster comes,
I'll be ready
and ready to care for my elderly mother and husband and children and grandchildren.
People like you have convinced my children and grandchildren that preparing for disaster is practically un-American.
But when the next natural disaster strikes
and we lose power and possibly water for a period of time,
they won't be laughing at me then.
That is why I say
people who ridicule people who are prepared
for tornadoes/earthquakes/EMP/
and yes man caused disasters
should be the last in line to receive help.
