Look for an islamic jihad mass shooter in the USA.

Look for his gun to be traced to the so-called “gun show loophole,” and a crackdown on buying adn selling guns that leads to virtual registration.

Success of lone gunmen may shift al-Qaida strategy

Whatever we do, we can't overreact by allowing citizens to carry weapons or allowing military members to be armed while on base. If people are allowed to defend themselves, who knows what problems it would cause. Trust the government to protect us. They know what's best. They'll take care of us.

Gee, I don’t have a degree from Harvard or Yale, I have never worked a day in Washington, I don’t belong to any Think Tanks...and yet I was able to figure this one out after Ft. Hood.

I still think we will see an episode like what happened in the hotel in India or something in a Mall. Probably not in a state with CC though.

She makes a pretty good case, and I'm shocked to read intellectual coherence coming from the AP, but there's one crucial thing she doesn't note: in both cases, there were red flags aplenty. They were ignored due to the malignant political correctness in the West combined with PC's symbiote, chronic CYA.

Abdulmutallab's own father sent a warning that his son was like to commit a terrosist attack and it was ignore lest he suffer from profiling. Since it was his own father that turned him in, they myst have been protecting the poor boy from parental profiling.

The number of blatant warning signs noticed from Hasan over a period of YEARS, ignored due to the military policy of PC has been toroughly documented.

BOTH of these cases could have been prevented. The information was there. It was just deemed more expedient to ignore it. Sure, al Qaeda types will try more small, high profile attacks, but if we just concentrate on what we KNOW, rather than creating MORE miltibillion dollar levels of Government wasteland, we stand a much better chance of catching the bad guys.

Keep some bacon in your pocket in case you’re the one who guns him down. Make sure the newspapers take a picture of him with a big slab of unclean meat in his mouth.

There have been several incidents of Muslim terrorist shootings already, and perhaps many more. The mall shooting in Salt Lake City, in February 2007, was pretty certainly one instance. But it was covered up.

And I presume there have probably been a quite a few others that were also covered up before we had a chance to learn about them.

This cuts two ways. On the one hand, you don’t want to publicize terrorist crimes and inspire imitators. On the other hand, you do want to alert citizens to the danger. Or at least you SHOULD want to alert them. Unfortunately our government prefers not to.
