Of course, the government response will likely to reemphasize the policies that make people "sitting ducks" i.e. if VTech, Mumbai and Columbine were disasters because of gun control, then make more of the country sitting ducks.

I’m betting this will happen in a “gun free city” like New York or Chicago. Terrorists won’t have as much luck in Dallas or another CCW state.

Looks like unarmed New Yorkers are in for a rough time.

This is not a new type of terror attack. This is old school.

Baader-Meinhof, Jap Red Army, older Pali teror gropus etc.

I was just thinking what would happen if a terrorist fired his weapon
while the barrel was full of water from a fire hose. Might be a plan for
those unarmed in NY.

And Yep, ready here.

Fewer libs, more red nation.

(I don't really mean that.. I think. I'd rather their thinking changed, and being targets might do that. I'd hope.)

If just 500 terrorists in the US split into pairs they could go into 250 of our elementary schools.

At lunchtime, cafeterias are filled with hundreds of kids. If each school lost 50 kids, that’s 12,500 kids in about 15 minutes.

Depends on what the gangbangers and other armed street types decide to do if they are caught up in the middle of it 0_0

They better not try it here ....We’re ready for ‘em in Nebraska.

I have lots of friends and family that hunt (including myself) and we’re fairly good shots.

I also have an in-law on the police force here and unlike the “security guards” in Mumbai (sp?) they carry guns and aren’t going to be afraid and run away from the “ISLAMIC/ARAB” Terrorists

“U.S. Cities” wouldn’t have to “Brace” if our country wasn’t half full of wussie-boy liberals who are afraid of guns!

The libs have sucessfully feminzed half the American male population. They are neutered. Useless.

We conservative women, and you conservative men, are IT.

If things really go sideways, you watch and see how many anti-gunners you know, come a knockin’ at your door BECAUSE they know you and I can defend ourselves and maybe we have enough to defend them too.

OR the cowards will just lay down and die.

We need Concealed Carry in every State. Won’t happen due to libs.

We need kids to have bb guns again as a NORM, not a rare exception.

Dad’s should be hunting with their kids, getting them familiar with weapons.

That was the norm when I was a kid and it wasn’t all that long ago.

Old American Traditions that are stopped by liberals, are traditions with value, like being a population that knows how to defend itself. They have sucessfully disarmed half the country. Maybe they will be the ones who reap what they have sown. We will all suffer as a nation though, when the doo doo hits the fan.
