Ft Collins, CO –-(Ammoland.com)- The beat goes on!
Another vehicle attack, this time in NYC!
Could have been much worse, were it not for a courageous school-bus driver
As has been pointed-out by many, including me, this kind of attack is easily put together, and easily exported.
We’ll see more of it!
The single suspect is “middle-eastern,” and yelled “AA” during the attack. What a surprise!
NYC’s Marxist mayor almost immediately (wishfully) declared that there was no ongoing threat, long before he had any business saying any such thing.
Liberals, in and out of the media, typically tell you what they wish were true, not what is actually true!
He also (as usual) declared the suspect a “lone wolf.” More wishful thinking!
Typical ineffective government response will be the imposition of new restrictions on rental vehicles, which will of course, have zero effect on terrorists. Similar attempts to impose burdensome restrictions on the private ownership of guns are also ineffective. Once more, we’re predictably treated to lots of “security theater,” but precious little actual security, as we see!
What can be done by units of government to effectively address this kind of terrorist attack, and terrorist attacks in general?
All the things they don’t want to do:
- Restrict immigration from terrorist nations.
- Adopt “criminal profiling” as standard LE procedure
- Build a wall on our southern border.
- Start deporting illegal immigrants.
- Jail those who come back.
Again, none of the forgoing will happen any time soon.
What can we do as individuals?
- Understand that you’re “on your own.”
- Adopt personal preparedness as a way of life. Keep your head up
- Tweak your lifestyle so that you reduce exposure to aggravated risk. Get out of NYC, out of NYS!
- Acquire effective military weapons, pistols and rifles, and learn how to use them
- Go armed
- Have heavy weapons (rifles) always nearby
- Be prepared to change plans, particularly travel plans, instantly
- Be always ready to act decisively when necessary! Think in advance about what you might have to do, so you won’t hesitate. You will not get a second chance!
Terrorists will kill us all, unless we kill them first! It’s time everyone, in and out of government, confront this stark truth squarely! [Donald Trump and our military is crushing them in the middle east, we need to be prepared to do the same in the USA.]
All must take serious, personal responsibility for their own safety!
Conversely, when you think you want to be a “victim,” history will happily accommodate you, with no wavering, no regrets!
“No one is more dangerous than he who imagines himself ‘pure in heart,’ for his ‘purity,’ is by definition, unassailable.” ~ James Baldwin

When the anti’s come to their senses, LOL! Possibly they will come to terms with Good & Evil.
Firearms, Motor Vehicles, etc… are not evil. People have ‘free will’ to make decisions, history has proven this. Society has to come to terms with the truth and lies that appear in every new situation. BE AWARE, YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN, BE PREPARED AT ALL TIMES WHATEVER IT TAKES……………..
The real question is who paid for the gas? That’s right, the Russians.
WHY SHOULD WE CHANGE OUR WAY OF LIFE> I SAY KILL THEM ALL IET GOD SORT THEM OUT.
@notalima, ban high cap beer containers, too! No one needs more than one ounce of beer at a time.
A well-intnded suggestion … cut down on the use of exclamation points. Their frequency in this and other recent articles lowers their impact through overuse, and makes the entire piece “read” like sensationalist journalism by an 8th grader. (Or maybe high school now, what with slipping standards.)
It is time to ban high capacity assault trucks.
No one ‘needs’ a high capacity assault truck. After-all, you can haul those pallets of tile home a few boxes at a time. Think of the children!
Oh, and at $19 high capacity assault trucks are a lot cheaper than an MSR.
(If politicians reacted to this type of terror like they react to every shooting. Wankers.)
