When we finally see muslim terrorists take legally purchased in the USA "assault rifles" into a church or movie theater it will be the ultimate acid test for the FedGov and the 2nd amendment. This could happen today or next month; it will happen.

Will they then move to restrict the rights of all Americans to own such "high powered military style weapons", or will they allow wider open and concealed carry, Israeli style, to stop future attackers in their tracks?

Based on the current debacle with the disarmed airline pilots, I'd have to guess they will go for greater restrictions. They have just proven that the FedGov would rather blow an airliner out of the sky with a missile from a (government owned and operated) F-16 than permit a civilian pilot to have the chance to defend his cockpit and his passengers with a privately owned pistol.

I fear you are correct.

Thanks for the ping, especially among such a distinguished group of freepers.
