One lone nutjob killed more people than the coordinated attackers in Brussels did.

Ponder that for a moment. Why bother with messy things like sleeper cells that often get busted when you can just put your inflammatory propaganda on YouTube, and have your "followers" take advantage of our lax gun laws to do your dirty work for you? (Note that the Orlando shooter was known to the FBI, but they were powerless to stop him from getting the damn gun.) Could this be their new strategy: adapting our all-too-commonplace mass shootings as instruments of terror? (cf. San Bernardino) And if so, what can we do about it?

In this country they do not have to worry about smuggling weapons in and such like in Europe. A lone guy can just decide one morning to go kill people, go buy an AR15, have it within a few days once the background check clears and then act.
heck, he could even get it at a gun show from an unlicensed seller where they would not be any background checks.
