ISIS focusing on three states where citizens won’t shoot back
ISIS reportedly released a list of five states it’s ready to attack, three of which have some of the strictest gun control laws in the nation.
The states, which were named in a message signed by Abu Ibrahim Al Ameriki and shared on Twitter, included California, Illinois, Maryland, Michigan and Virginia.
“Four out of the five states listed have passing grades from groups that support MORE gun control and disarming the populace,” an AR-15.com forum member pointed out.
Sure enough, on the latest “state scorecard” from the anti-gun Brady Campaign, Virginia is the only state out of the five that isn’t really moving toward stricter gun laws.
And according to a state ranking from Guns & Ammo which lists the best state for gun owners at #1 and the strictest gun control state at #50, California, Maryland and Illinois are ranked #46, #44 and #41 respectively.
The other two states, Michigan and Virginia, are ranked around the middle of the pack at #28 and #21.
Additionally, California and Maryland are among the hardest states for citizens to receive concealed carry permits.
“There are only a few conditions under which Maryland may grant you a permit,” an Opencarry forum member revealed. “1) Documented threats against your life or previous documented attacks, 2) Transportation of large sums of cash with bank deposit slips as proof and 3) Carrying of medicine and prescription pads (medical doctors.)”
“In other words you will not get a permit to carry in Maryland unless one of the three conditions above is met and if it is granted, it will be restricted to the activity used as the basis for the approval.”
And it isn’t much easier for California residents to receive a permit.
So put yourself in a militant’s shoes: would you rather attack an area where only the police have guns, or an area where citizens will shoot back?
It's almost comical to watch these towel-headed desert rats run through the sand with rifles, it is reminiscent of Monty Python.
Most satisfying to see what happened in Texas when they came up against something other than women and kids! The complicit media decided quickly that it was all Pamela Geller's fault.
Paging Allan Rock (virulently anti gun former Canadian Justice Minister) and Janet Reno.
Virginia has open carry.
Virginia? Maybe around the metro but those drones do carry despite their ideology.
The southern and western parts of the state and coastal areas would be a really nasty surprise for a would-be terrorist.
It’s easier to deal with these pigs with a weapon in your hand. You csn’t face down an AK47 with just bravado.
Except of course the aberration in Texas.
Well ISIS is going to have learn again!
And why isn't New Jersey on that list?
Good. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Some people need to learn why gun control is a *bad* idea.
Same with Michigan. In fact, Texas was late to that party.
Concealed carry with a permit, open carry without. Stand your ground laws. We can carry in schools and even in the state capitol building. We’ll have full constitutional carry within 18 months.
There are places where they proclaim themselves to be prey but those exist in every state.
“And why isn’t New Jersey on that list?”
Nobody wants to go there.
Anyone who believes Muslim terrorists are deciding who to attack based on gun-control laws is a total moron.
What a stupid article. Notice how the tite suggests, but the author does not claim, that ISIS is targeting states BECAUSE they have strict gun control? An equally, if not more likely explanation is that these states have large Muslim populations that provide cover for ISIS.
“The other two states, Michigan and Virginia, are ranked around the middle of the pack at #28 and #21.”
BS! Michigan is to the right of TX on gun laws.
Yup.
IMO, either they chose states out of a turban or they’re after
something else. I thought they were after states with the better gun laws to test the waters so to speak or something to do with military?
You got that right. Those cretins are cowards, first. They can’t stand the thought of an open, face to face fight.
Actually, the statement about where they would attack came after Texas by a day or so. I think they decided not to do Texas again. :P
Right.
That went well for them, didn’t it?
Ain’t that the truth?
