The document discusses the growing threat of domestic terrorism in the United States carried out by lone wolf attackers. It argues that easy access to guns, radicalization on the internet, and anti-government sentiments have contributed to homegrown terrorism. Examples given include the Boston Marathon bombing, Fort Hood shooting, and LAX shooting. The author calls for stricter gun control laws and limitations on who can purchase or possess firearms to help address the threat of lone wolf terrorist attacks in America.

2. Every day, more born and bred American menare becoming terrorists. Theyshowhatred for their
government and aremotivated enough to seek its downfall. More and more we see Americans
arming themselves without any real government control. There has always been dissent in the
U.S. against the government in one way or another, but in the last 20 years or so it has become
militant Also individuals arm themselves by buying at gun shows without any background
checks. How can we protect ourselves if the threat is internal and unseen? Who wants to be
killed at a marathon or shopping at a mall? We should find out why we are breading this hatred
for our country. We must implement again the pledge of allegiance in our schools. The U.S. is
responsible for permitting this violent behavior to escalate into full blown armed civil conflict.
.

3. Terrorism is a problem that affects our daily lives. Every day more youths are becoming filled
with hate. The internet with its terrorist, jihadist, militant America hating web pages have
brainwashed a spoiled youth. “The Unabomber, Oklahoma City bomber, Fort Hood and Oslo
assailants are examples of this new form of terrorist.” (Bates 2012) More recent examples are
the 2013 Boston Marathon bombers and the shootings. Americans becoming terrorists against
their own country. The morals of a spoiled, lazy, pampered youth have lead them to ruin. We
have to reexamine our society to find out why this is happening.
Domestic Terrorism effects our daily lives. Olympic and other sports events in America have to
be carefully secured against terrorists. Since the Oklahoma City bombing ,in which people were
killed at a Federal Building, to the Boston marathon bombing ,in which a pressure cooker full of
shrapnel to kill and maim was used , Americans have been implicated in the terror tactics and
death of other Americans. “Homegrown terrorism has long threatened the United States, with
varying degrees of severity. Today radical Islamic homegrown terrorism is a major part of the
terrorist landscape, and the threat appears to be growing.” (Barnes 2013).
So called American freedom fighters are nothing but terrorist. The second amendment of the US
constitution does not give us a right to bear arms. The intention of the founding fathers was to
arm a militia at a moment’s notice if the country is invaded not for paranoid nutcases to stockpile
weapons and commit acts of violence .Many Americans want to overthrow the US government
or kill the president in the belief thathis weapons will be taken away .They do not recognize the
us governments authority over them.

4. The 2013 LAX Shootings demonstrate how one Lone Wolf gunman can go on a shooting
rampage at an airport without anyone stopping him. We aren’t safe even at the airport. Weapons
should be limited to the police forces and the army. Armed citizens lead to Lone wolf terrorist
with an itchy trigger finger.

5. Lone wolf terrorism in America is directly linked to the easy access of weapons in gun shows
and shops and an ever increasing belief that problems are solved by gunshots.The second
amendment of the U.S. constitution has to be repealed. Our founding fathers never dreamed that
the right to bear arms would be used as an excuse to shoot and innocent people Only the Military
and law enforcement should be armed. All armed citizens should be disarmed. That way if a
person has some grievance with government policies or other personal problems these issues will
be resolved thorough civilized means like protest or other forms of problem resolution. This will
eliminate the problem of a single sick individual arming himself with combat weapons and
killing everyone in his path. Our right to peace of mind supersedes there right to bear arms.
