ISIS focusing on three states where citizens won’t shoot back
ISIS reportedly released a list of five states it’s ready to attack, three of which have some of the strictest gun control laws in the nation.
The states, which were named in a message signed by Abu Ibrahim Al Ameriki and shared on Twitter, included California, Illinois, Maryland, Michigan and Virginia.
“Four out of the five states listed have passing grades from groups that support MORE gun control and disarming the populace,” an AR-15.com forum member pointed out.
Sure enough, on the latest “state scorecard” from the anti-gun Brady Campaign, Virginia is the only state out of the five that isn’t really moving toward stricter gun laws.
And according to a state ranking from Guns & Ammo which lists the best state for gun owners at #1 and the strictest gun control state at #50, California, Maryland and Illinois are ranked #46, #44 and #41 respectively.
The other two states, Michigan and Virginia, are ranked around the middle of the pack at #28 and #21.
Additionally, California and Maryland are among the hardest states for citizens to receive concealed carry permits.
“There are only a few conditions under which Maryland may grant you a permit,” an Opencarry forum member revealed. “1) Documented threats against your life or previous documented attacks, 2) Transportation of large sums of cash with bank deposit slips as proof and 3) Carrying of medicine and prescription pads (medical doctors.)”
“In other words you will not get a permit to carry in Maryland unless one of the three conditions above is met and if it is granted, it will be restricted to the activity used as the basis for the approval.”
And it isn’t much easier for California residents to receive a permit.
So put yourself in a militant’s shoes: would you rather attack an area where only the police have guns, or an area where citizens will shoot back?
Just the Deacons alone constitute an effective, armed squad. And I'm aware of many more regular attendees who routinely carry in church.
“You are looking at it the wrong way.”
No I’m not looking at it the wrong way, I’ve got a copy of what is as close the terrorist playbook as you can get.
I’m right and you are wrong.
Geller's conference was an exceptional target.
Like those "bug-zapper" light fixtures -- it sucked 'em in and eradicated 'em.
I would not be surprised to see more such "sucker-bait" deployed -- until America embraces the fact that an armed citizenry is required -- and able -- to keep the varmints suppressed.
Just as others above said about Illinois and Michigan. The whole country uses Detroit as a punch-line or poster child for inner-city decay, and rightfully so, yet it's not much different other cities with similar demographics. Although I will likely join my conservative brothers and sisters down south when I retire, Michigan is a wonderful state with the exception of Detroit, Flint, Benton Harbor (Benton Harlem, as we say) and a couple of other spots.
Even California has many solid red areas if you check county voting results. We all need to understand that inner-city libtardia largely ends a few miles out.

LOL! Isn't that the truth!
Wow!.
That’s way cool. You’ve got the terrorist playbook.
So, which page talks about targeting states because they have gun-control laws?
This article is a new level of stupid.
“....these states have large Muslim populations that provide cover for ISIS.”
True enough, and in addition, muzzies in America are known to be for strict gun control.
Too many guns in the hands of too many of us “infidels”, you know.
“Starbucks...I hate their coffee but I’m meeting a customer. LOL”
If you have to drink that used motor oil they call coffee, it must be your biggest customer.
;^)
Well we are real disappointed down here in GA. :-)
Why am I not surprised you’re not smart enough to know what a playbook is.
Page 2.
90% of the preparations for the battle(attack) are made by people in this country, not the terrorist.
It’s people in this country that have the objective, not the terrorist.
“I live in N.J. And while I agree that a lot of the state is a shiite hole you would like it where we live in Warren County.”
My family is from Blairstown and I lived in Jersey for half a century.
Jersey sucks.
Why am I not surprised that despite what came out in the story in question, there was nothing about targeting Texas because of its gun-control state.
Really? Texas was chosen for that reason? Go on believing that.
Continue to believe, as well that ISIS was behind this. This was two idiots who acted on there own. Then ISIS took credit.
You can carry I’m schools in Michigan? Wish we could, even just teachers and chp holders. Best we can do in colored is leave it locked in the car on school property. OTOH we can conceal carry every place else including places with KILL ZONE HERE signs.
The restriction for carrying in Michigan schools is the the carrier must have a concealed carry permit but must carry openly.
Ann Arbor schools recently declared that they don’t care what the state law is. They’re calling the police anytime someone carries in school. They’ll end up in court and lose at taxpayer expense.
What a closing technique!
An offer they can’t refuse. LOL
