Terrorism & Lack of U.S. effective Gun Control are kissing cousins

When means of death are readily available, there is little law enforcement can do to protect citizens from random acts of violence.

I am not advocating people stop going about their daily activities.  Randomness, means that most people will be safe and only the unlucky ones will be caught in those random acts of terror.

But there is little difference between a radicalized Islamic terrorist with little economic hope and a young caucasian American male who finds sexuality and growing up in a competitive social environment frustrating; with the result that both try to kill numerous number of the people who they perceive cause them grief.

So how does a Belgium terrorist get bomb making materials?  How does an American teenager get a semi-automatic weapon?

And what Donald Trump and Ted Cruz want to do is torture Muslims and flood their neighborhoods with police.  Yet, Belgium did flood the neighborhood with police and the bombers went somewhere else.  Only if we defend law abiding Muslims and provide them with equal economic opportunity, will we get their cooperation in turning out the bad ones who live amongst them.

Just as, absent effective gun control, we need to provide disturbed teenagers with support and encourage their friends to both help them and provide intelligence.
