You don't understand what a destroyed city will mean to this city, or mass casualties from a bio attack..
It won't be 'life as normal' again. I don't mean that like how we aren't the same as before 9/11. I mean everything will change. There will most likely be a nuclear exchange, some places will be destroyed in retaliation.
Peace protests will have to be banned. A good reason is, to defend the stupid protestors from people like me out for blood.
I doubt they'd bother to mess with gun rights that much. I mean, they can try, but we'll be in a state of near anarchy. People will stop paying bills, no more rent payments. The economy will be centralized and food will the currency and only that that'll matter.
This isn't some small little inconvenience. This is just below The Day After or Threads level of destruction we're facing. The freedoms we have will be gone in an instant. As well as many millions of islamics around the world. It's inevitable.

that's quite an exaggeration, there would not be "anarchy" except perhaps in the immediate area of the attack. why would people in Ohio stop paying rent if Manhattan were nuked? We could have an earthquake in LA tomorrow that would do more damage then a small nuclear weapon, would we have anarchy everywhere in the US as a result?

You don't understand what a destroyed city will mean to this [country], or mass casualties from a bio attack.. How did Japan survive the destruction of Hiroshima? Sure, they were an imperial society at the time, but they are a democracy now. The whole country didn't fall apart.
I know that it isn't a perfect comparison, given that we were at war and they were a defeated society, but their civil life didn't end because of the bomb.

I'm more concerned with power hungry people like George Soros and John Kerry here at home than I am about the Islamics.

You are a little ray of sunshine, aren't you?
I think you are way off base.

All of the bad things you infer as regards the impact of such an attack will happen should one be pulled off...but it is not so dire as you imagine and the worst thing we could do...and what myself and millions of others will fight to prevent, is a discarding of the constitution.
See my post 65. The armed forces and the politicians and every other government employee have taken an oath to protect, defend and bear true faith and allegiance to that document. They day they discard it is the day they become the enemy themselves.
As hard as it may be, we can get through such a scenario without that, we can survive it. What we will not survive is a discarding of the constitution...at least not until it it restored.
