"Do you recall what happened back in the '90s when the media got hold of the Oklahoma City bomb facts? Remember how they characterized the perpetrators as far-right, white Christian nuts who enjoyed running around in funny clothes, shooting guns, and drawing inspiration from "rightist" gurus like Rush Limbaugh?"

Yes, and now facts are surfacing regarding John Doe 2 being a Middle Eastern (Terrorist/Fundamentalist Muslim) 'person'. Very interesting that this characterization put law enforcement and the public on the wrong trail. Wonder what would have happened if the truth had been told back then? No 9/11?

I would think that more people would buy guns to protect themselves with these types of loonies running around. According to the Al Qaeda training tapes, home invasions are another "grassroots" terrorist tool yet to be engaged. A loaded .45 is a great deterrent to that!!

remember the training manual they found in the caves of afghanistan that said something about places in america where citizens can own and carry guns... i believe it was a warning, not an inspiration for their terrorists...it is all about perception...
