I tend to agree. They could easily take a small town of 5 or 10 thousands, and literally hold the town hostage or just kill most everyone in the town. The could take an entire large mall hostage with little effort and hold it tight with just 50 or 100 terrorist. What do the big malls hold now at peak shopping periods? 10,000 people? More? Unfortunately, it would be easy.
How bout these terror inspiring headlines?

In small towns, everyone owns a gun. Probably several. It's the liberals, as well as some conservatives in suburbia who have disarmed.
