The number of refugees planned is 10k, not 100k.
I find it troubling to read how many people on the watch list were cleared to buy a gun here. it is no secret that guns are easily obtained here. But there is no legislation to stop those sales. They cannot get on a plane, cannot fly out of country, but they can buy guns here, stay here, use them here.
And why is the refugee thing even mentioned in this case? The shooter was born here, in ny.

There are 3 million Muslims in the US. That is 1% of the population.
With regard to mass shootings and murders, I specifically said "politically motivated" shootings. I wasn't referring to all shootings.
Obama is going to bring in a minimum of 10,000 Syrian refugees this year alone. They are going to bring in a total of 185,000 refugees (from all over the world, not just Syria) over the next two years. How many of those 185,000 refugees are Muslim? Even if it's only 50,000, that is in just two years. And if many liberals and people in his administration had their way, they would bring in 100,000 just from Syria: "A letter made public last week and signed by several former Obama administration officials urged the U.S. government to accept 100,000 Syrian migrants, and to put in place special rules to speed the resettlement process."

With regard to your comment that the shooter was born here, that is true. But who cares where this particular one was born? Of the hundreds arrested over the last few years who were planning attacks, a high percentage of them were not born here. The woman in San Bernardino was not born here. The 9/11 hijackers were not born here. They only killed 3,000 people. There is nothing we can do about second generation Muslims that were born here. They are US citizens. They are here to stay. But there is something we can do about the ones that weren't born here. Don't bring them over here in the first place.
I agree with you that this guy should not have been able to buy a gun. But I doubt that would have stopped him. The guy in San Bernardino simply had a friend buy the gun for him. It makes it tougher if they can't buy a gun legally, but it ultimately will not prevent them from getting one, if they want one bad enough. That being said, I would have no problem with them passing a law that would not allow people on the terrorist watch list to be able to buy guns, assuming that there were proven ties to real terrorists. My only concern would be that this administration would probably try to put right-wingers on the list. I think Obama thinks Christians are more of a threat than Muslims. They would probably want to put anyone that reads Breitbart or WND on the terrorist watch list. LOL. That's actually not that far-fetched when you have people like Lois Lerner in the government
