Yessir. Been saying the same thing for years as well. It's not if, it's when. They will only become more emboldened with each successful attack.

I am honestly surprised it hasn't happened already. The Islamists have got to know by know by now that a shooting isn't going to change America fundamentally.

Our Texas cities are already at max capacity concerning traffic, people, etc.
Even rumors or a threat of something happening will stir the pot greatly. Too bad we have people with their heads so far up their asses, that only see skin color, that can't come together as a country and flush this shit out. |

OP may be right but shootings have the added effect of manipulating politics and restrictions on rights. VBIEDS will scare and kill but nobody is going to ban cars.

I realize it's possible to make things go boom without having access to military grade explosives - but that does seem to be the favorite medium of bombers. How hard is it to get high energy explosives in the US? I presume it would be difficult to obtain some explosives by theft from mining operations or some construction industries. I'd think that would not be a high volume source though. |

And that is precisely why we (the USA) will lose this "war" if we do not fight it on their terms. These savages do not want, understand, or respect democracy or our form of government. They see us as weak because of it. All they understand is total brutality. Unless we take the gloves off and start fighting back these events will not only continue but become more commonplace. If they kill one of ours, we kill ten of theirs. And we aren't too particular who as long as they are loosely associated with the perpetrators. If they kill one of ours with a WMD, we kill 100 of them. And we aren't too particular who as long as they are loosely associated with the perpetrators. They blow up a building, we level 10 city blocks. And we aren't too particular as long as the 10 blocks surround anyone associated with the perpetrators. The best part of this? No boots on the ground required. This namby-pamby crap of only getting those directly responsible and all the surgical response BS has to go. This is why control was lost in Iraq. Saddam was a brutal asshole but he had control of the country. We got rid of him and the whole place went to shit and will never recover. Eventually the other non-radical Muslims will start policing their own. |

I think individually executed, IS inspired terror attacks will increase substantially here in the US. I've said things similar to what the OP is saying. I hope we are both wrong, but fear we are both right. |

Just "letting it happen" isnt an option. Edit: i dunno what civil tights are, but theyre suspended. |

I've always wondered what's to keep someone from buying up all the Tannerite they can get their hands on from every Academy in the city, loading up a truck with about 500 lbs of the stuff, and rigging a rifle to fire into it with a remote trigger. Then drive it into a crowded area. I've seen some video on Youtube where a guy blew a old barn into toothpicks with about 200 lbs of the stuff. As soon as that happens, you can bet Tannerite will be banned. Not that I use the stuff, but still. On a plus side, if terrorists move from guns to bombs, then the drive to ban guns might die down a bit. Nobody will start pressing to ban cars/trucks/gasoline/fertilizer/ball bearing/whatever.

I'm not saying restrict our freedoms, and I'm not saying let the terrorists win. What I am saying is we have formed our own noose and have placed it around our own necks. There will be no way of getting out of this one without losing some of our own blood.........it ain't gonna be pretty, and we ain't gonna be the way we used to be. That America is dead and buried.
