But lets face it, we got lucky. Had this gunman known what he was doing or had those troops not been there who knows what kind of damage he could have done? I would be even more afraid on American soil where Americans are banned from their 2nd amendment rights on transportation Hubs and Police are under armed.
ISIL is a different kind of threat. They are more action then they are words and they tend to send Loons who are well armed, well trained, with battle experience, and with a plan. In the attacks they have staged even single gunman have a 1 to 1 kill/wound ratio and thats pretty damned good. Most of all when its a single shooter.
