In this case the threat isn't from outside - Society did nothing to prevent this American citizen from obtaining an assault rifle. And there are hundred of thousands of people just like him who own assault rifles.

McVeigh was an ''all-American'' terrorist really an anarchist.
What happened in San Bernardino may have been a premature act of terrorism and not against the primary target. What were all the pipe bombs that were discovered unused intended for?
I would be more in favor of effective terrorist control that any indiscriminate gun control legislation.
But that is off subject maybe but it relates to fear. There are both right-wing and left-wing reactionaries. This goes toward fair judgement.
