The amount of firepower which can be packed in the back of a car trunk, even a compact, in the hands of a trained fireteam could also result in the deaths of several hundred to possibly thousands if simply thought out.
These risks will always exist in a peaceful unarmed society. After such attacks occur, the popular vote by the feet will be more CCW and gun ownership by the populous.
Then such tactics will be greatly limited in their opportunity to succeed.
The dearth of such attacks in the US is testimony that our enemies of action are from overseas and misinterpret our strengths and weaknesses.
If they understood us better, they wouldn't label 'America' as the enemy, but would oppose more readily those powers, authorities, and principalities which influence all men who reject or act independently of God.
Until they do so, they become and remain loser pawns for satanic systems of control.
Heavenly Father, we return to give You thanks that untold numbers are before the Throne of Grace night and day on behalf of our beloved country. We thank You for stirring us to plead our cause, for we are aware of the danger that surrounds. We thank You that You are Founder of this great nation ... we thank You that those in authority over us seek that all nations enjoy the freedom that has been granted to us ... we know that others look upon might and wealth and power as things to be coveted, or destroyed, for such is the envy of man.
Father, we pray that Your hand of protection would rest mightily upon us ... not that we are deserving, but that You are a God of Mercy. Stand guard over our military, as they stand guard for us, and over us ... stand guard over our civilian protectors, for they are a line of defense that protects us. How can we thank You, Merciful Father, for these men and women who risk all that we would be safe? Surely, Your love is in them ... greater love hath no man, but that he would lay down his life for another. Cover these dear ones with our tears and our prayers ... may they become a covering of protection for each one, wherever they serve.
Thank You, O God, that You have granted unto us another night and day of relative peace and calm. May it continue to be so ... expose those who would do us harm ... sweep aside all plans for the shedding of innocent blood ... keep us focused and successful and render the enemy confused and powerless.
We seek peace and safety for all people, Sovereign Lord, for You are the Creator of each. Speak to the hearts of those who would destroy, that they might desire the joy of freedom. To You be all glory, honor, and praise, in the Name of Jesus, Amen ...
