‘Lone Wolf’ terror attacks: We're sitting ducks and Americans with guns are last line of defense
Fox News ^ | October 30, 2014 | John R. Lott Jr.

The recent spate of “lone wolf” terrorist attacks both here and in Canada seem to have come out of nowhere. And it’s clear that they have left Americans and Canadians as sitting ducks.

Simply by using the Internet, ISIS has encouraged “lone wolf” individuals. These “wolves” have initiated attacks on their own with no planning or coordination with others and without leaving a trail of clues about their intentions. Law enforcement authorities and our government are not well suited to defend against such individual terror strikes. As Israel has learned about such attacks, there are just too many targets to defend.

They are nice indeed. But quality examples now run nearly 3 times the cost of one Mosin. And 8mm ammo is scarcer than hens teeth. Grab a Mosin or two and a few tins of ammo while you can.

“7.62 x 54 baby. Went through a sideways 2x4 at 100 yds. Has a giant bayonette on it too.”

It was just getting started.

The 30-06 used in the Garand would penetrate 48” of wood. The Mosin round has similar ballistics

“James Holmes (“Batman” movie theater), ... There is even an entire academic literature on psychiatrists’ inability to identify these attackers.”

Hey, I’m the last one to praise shrinks, but the shrink DID warn campus authorities that Holmes was a threat, and they did nothing.

Are you referring to removing the hammer, trigger, springs and pins, or just field stripping it by removing the barrel?

The “wolves” attack “sheep” in gun free zones.

They don’t attack the armed farmer.

Did you notice the hero Sgt. of Arms in Ottawa had to retrieve his weapon from a desk drawer?

My brother will only bring his out and fire it if I agree to do the strip and clean for him. It goes on my list of favors to call in at a later date. Big favors.

You are correct. They have no idea. None. The world aflame. Everyone at each other’s throats.

Barrel/Receiver Assembly and the mainspring housing assembly. That last is the bugger to get back in correctly.

That’s all that needs to come apart for a regular cleaning.

We have always been the last line of defense. People are just starting to recognize it again.

I have to admit that even in our quiet suburb, I’m carrying more often and always with a chambered round.

The only sure way of preventing ‘lone wolf’ attacks is to get rid of ALL muzzies. Most cost effective method.

Let them play terrorist back in their Islamic hellholes.

What scares me is that these ‘lone wolves’ will attack the vulnerable like the child in the park or the homeless under the bridge or a crowd during church services.

Just make sure that at least your pastor and willing deacons carry (concealed). If not, find another church.

That’s encouraging. I like to think Americans are different and will actually do something when it becomes necessary.

It is good to prepare and be on the watch. However, I will be watching for government’s efforts to combat “lone wolf” recruitment, etc. via the blogs, internet, etc. by new Patriot Act-like measures.

We all know how that has been misused and abused. It wasn’t long ago that the FBI’s prime terror suspects were veterans, gun owners, conservatives and the like in their information briefs and handouts to local LEA.

IOW, I just don’t trust them. NOT ONE BIT.

This comes as no surprise for anyone who knows anything about Islam. It's entirely predictable, especially given that the Obola regime is not interested in doing anything to stop these attacks.
