I think I just figured it out, although my tinfoil hat is on crooked. This could be a brilliant, absolutely brilliant and sinister strategy to provoke a terrorist attack and then use it as an excuse to crack down on the civil rights of law-abiding citizens. They bring in terrorists and, knowing that they are still terrorists, release them into society. Some terrorists get guns and commit a spectacular act ot terrorism. The terrorists are killed and their identity is covered up, and they are portrayed as “ordinary Americans who had access to guns.” The mass media would go along with this completely. The government would not have to aid the terrorists beyond letting them free. All or most of the terrorists would go back to planning an attack and sooner or later some of them would be successful. Then Congress writes the “The Domestic Surveilance, Gun Control and Thought Crimes Act of 2010” and Obama signs it.
