Conventional warfare is not completely gone but it can easily be circumvented by urban terrorism. For many Americans the real threat lies in your schools & universities. The whole gun thing has been discussed to death here and I don't want to revisit that but you seem to need some kind of screening program for pupils. I don't understand what this obsession is with mass shootings in the USA. Why are all these kids so screwed up?
Right, we have these 20 year old guys (mostly white) walking into schools and other public places and opening fire on them. I don't understand why either, tbh. Most of the ones who do probably have buried issues already. The fact that they usually choose public places implies they want to be noticed by the media. Some kill themselves afterwards cause they're cowards. I think that's why we're more likely to be killed in our schools, colleges, etc. by people who are dangerous and could possibly be triggered than by terrorists elsewhere. Something is wrong here though.
Why does ISIS need to come here when all they have to do to is connect to young people who can be radicalized here anyway? My brother was like 30 or so miles away from the Florida club shooting and even spoke to a couple that walked into his store who were there when the incident happened, so close my loved ones could be hurt by someone. Also it'd be a miracle if a compromise is ever reached on gun screenings, haha. Pigs will start flying and such.
