OK ---tell me how to be concerned about Islam?

53. Couple things I disagree with in your reponse

First:

if we could manage to ban most guns, I fear terrorists would just switch over to homemade bombs

My response/question is: So what? So make them. Why would you just shrug your shoulders and dismiss the idea of trying just because they will be forced to switch to other options.

If they are forced to improvise explosives there are a number of ways they can be tracked. There is a higher chance the devices they use will not be as efficient, or fail entirely due to a lack of quality control.

Just off the top of my head those questions make me wonder why you consider your reason enough to dismiss attempts for stricter controls.(Obviously large scale bans won't happen quickly, or maybe even ever. But that's not a good reason to not try.)

Second:

Perhaps the next step would be to accept more fully the if-you-see-something-say-something strategy.

Apparently people did, and he was interviewed by authorities about his murderous tendencies. And then allowed to buy murder weapons.

Something is wrong with that system.
