More Americans view letting more people concealed handguns as a better solution to terrorism

There has been a sharp rise in concern over terrorism, with few Americans believing that the government can stop lone-wolf attacks (22-77 percent) and not many more can stop a large scale attack (43-56 percent). A new Gallup poll shows that terrorism has become the number one issue on voters’ minds (16% rank terrorism as the number one issue, 13% say government, and 9% say the economy).

President Obama keeps pushing for more gun control as the solution to the threat of terrorism. . . .

It won’t matter. Concealed or not, too many in this country will wait around for someone else to take care of the problems. We’ve become too civilized to deal with terrorists and a rogue government.

Ban “gun free” (aka: terrorist shooting gallery) zones.

Let it be known that if anyone who may come down with a case of sudden jihadi syndrome, that their affliction will be terminal.

Yes, then there shall no longer be a threat of terrorism, it shall become an absolute certainty. Coming soon to the neighborhood near you.

After seeing what a bang-up job the Federal Government is doing protecting us, this is a no-brainier.

Two Islamic Terrorists slaughter 14, unarmed (By California Law!) citizens, and the top law-enforcement officer in the US is most concerned about anti-Mulsim comments.

For us law-abiding citizens, it is time to “lock and load”!

For the Japanese in WWII, it was the fear that “in America there will be a rifle behind every blade of grass”.

For jihadis, the fear should be that “there will be a pistol in every infidel’s pocket”.

“ALLAHU AKBAR!!” means green light, start killing jihadis.

Given the nature of the threat it’s the only defense, since the government has failed to prevent it.

Take a look at question on an ‘Assault Weapons Ban’ with regards to 18-29 year olds.

For the antis, that’s a ‘jump out of a tall building’ kind of number.

What other choice do we have? Our government under Obama sure as hell isn’t going to protect us.

Terrorists do a scintilla of the damage our government does. The most damage terrorist can do is kill a few hundred people each year, compare that to 50,000 killed in traffic accidents each year, half by drunk drivers.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m not unconcerned by terrorism and I’m not being flippant. I am just saying crank the number. Terrorists kill/hurt extremely few people in the US each year. As a source of death and injury, they don’t even rank. So this “fear of terrorism” is just an unreasonable public stoked by an inflamed media.

I fear my own government far more than I fear terrorists. Far more. My government is the long term tyrant I fear, not a handful of idiot Muslims looking to secure their delusions for 72 virgins.
