This is the ideal terrorist plot / It would be the 9-11 of gun control

Bingo.

Not to mention, CCW is of limited utility against a dozen terrs armed with RPG's and automatic rifles, even assuming they're inept. Better call out the National Guard, and confiscate private weapons.

Safer that way, you see.

Better call out the National Guard, and confiscate private weapons.

That's exactly what would happen.

Forfeiture. Military patrolling the streets. Roadblocks. Internal passports (National ID).

The solution will be worse than the problem, and many Americans won't tolerate it. The terrorists know that, in fact they're counting on it.

The wisest thing to do in such a situation would be to allow American citizens to defend themselves. But given who is in office, I doubt that would happen. Just look at what happened to airlines for example. No guns for pilots, and soldiers in the terminals. We'd just see more of the same.

I don't think it would go down like that. For one thing, if it happens here in Texas, there will be some concealed carry guys taking a bunch of terrorists with them-- and those guys would immediately be American heroes. Aside from that, all the gun shops would be immediately sold out, long before anyone could pass a law.

Finally, any attempt to disarm Americans after an event like that would result in massive street demonstrations nation-wide-- and I'm willing to bet that both the cops and the military would be marching with us.

Bush isn't going to have the disarming of Americans on his conscience-- particularly since one event like that is likely to give rise to more. And-- look at Israel-- lots of folks there armed to the teeth-- particularly parents on school buses.

You guys are worrying about nothing-- it just won't happen.
