Welcome to the internet.

By my count, more folks (including dozens of children) have been slaughtered in recent years by young American men who were clearly deranged, than by any well-coordinated "terrorist" attack. Where is the POTUS commission on that?

The less weight means less momentum. Can't count how many times I've been tailgated by some a-hole "country boy" who thinks he owns the road just because he can shine his headlights directly into your rear-view mirror. Guys who drive these trucks are menaces.

Yeah, I'm generalizing.

And how about the accused and acquited?

Well, you can attack his character with impunity because there would be no way to prove or disprove your assertion (I have never met him, and I'm sure that you haven't either). And calling what he did the "nuclear route" is hyperbolic at best (nobody died).

That is the definition of a straw man argument.

That is also a strawman. OP didn't mention anything about foiled terrorist plots or irrelevant 20th century geopolitics.

I think that you are purposefully missing the point. Fact is, ADHD is a legitimate diagnosis that is made by psychiatrists (yes real medical doctors). However, much like a hypochondriac co-worker's "migraine", or whether that person using the handicapped parking spot is really handicapped, we humans tend to draw conclusions based on our own realities. In my experience, the toughest part about having ADHD is the public perception. Those of us with it can experience nasty feedback loops, whereby a lack of attention at any given moment (for instance, during a conversation) requires one to play catch-up, thus missing the next essential bit of information, and so forth. There are several methods of treatment, only some of which include drugs. Please educate yourself and be less condescending.

I like the ACLU's stance here. If everyone is not free, than nobody is free.

I disagree. Space races seem more peaceful and productive than arms races. Not that you necessarily implied that, but I think that the EU and others such as India are seizing upon an opportunity to compete with the US while it decides whether it truly values its own space program (NASA).

Say something. I feel so much safer.

My father-in-law recently went on a police "ride-a-long" (we live in Virginia Beach, VA). He said that in between responding to domestic disturbance calls, the majority of the time was spent driving around scanning license plates. Prior to that, he didn't even know the police had the capability, much less the desire to track innocent folks. One particular incident occured that night when they pulled up to a vehicle that came up stolen. The cop pulled the guy over, handcuffed him and put him in the back seat. The guy was upset, and for good reason, which would only become clear some minutes later. He was the owner of the car which had previously been reported as stolen, but had not been cleared in the database after it was returned to him.
