Take a good look at the states ISIS said they intended to target after the attempted massacre here in Texas a few weeks ago.

California, Illinois, Michigan, Maryland, and Virginia all would have been key states in calling for more gun control.

How or why would ISIS all on their own select states which would be key to more gun control?

And those states and their citizens will reap what they have sown.

I’m not so sure about Michigan, but here in Virginia, I don’t think there would be any support for increased gun control after a terrorist attack, even in my blue northern Virgina neighborhood. Every now and then, a twinkie gets hyperventilated over constitutionally open-carry, but the legislature has been regularly improving the firearms laws. About 6% of adults in VA have a CHP, and given that the preponderance of those are men, about one out of ten adult males could be carrying concealed at any given time.

I would expect any terrorist in Virginia would just cross the Potomac for a softer target in DC or Maryland.
