If you wanna DO terrorism, would you rather use an AR-15, or a knife?

A GUN

Side Score: 17
VS.

A KNIFE

Side Score: 9

1)Terrorists love illegaly purchased firearms. If you make it where they can't get them legally, they will get them illegaly. Disarming me only puts me in danger and helps them.

2)If you could magically destroy all guns(which is impossible), you'd see more buses, trucks and cars entering into crowds.

I think it is safe to assume that ISIS isn't going around looking for legal military grade weapons to purchase in mass. They get them elsewhere... like when Obama pulled us out of Iraq and left them thousands of military grade vehicles and weapons. Ahem.

I'm pretty sure the bombs used in many of these attacks weren't legally "purchased". And what is gun control going to do...make them use more bombs and trucks? How is disarming us helpful? Would disarming me have helped prevent 9/11, the Boston Marathon bombing, the Belgium airport bombing, the London train bombing, the London knife attacks, trucks plowing into crowds, hijackings with box cutting knives, and on and on and on? Of course not. Not letting them near our countries is the solution. We offer you the only solution that works, but you can't accept it. So your solution is us get killed while doing the "liberal right thing". Mindless. Absolutely mindless. We die to feel good about ourselves. Wow.

I, as a "liberal", would "NOT WANNA DO TERRORISM" with EITHER! WE do not have a YUGE group of people on YOUR side that are so scared to death that they insist they have to "carry" for safety! WE may be a bit tentative about the squirrely government we have at the moment, but, WE normally have more confidence in our government and first responders to handle "situations" better than vigilante's can! I'm more worried about the guy next to me that might be carrying a gun (because he's "frightened!"), than I am about one guy in 300,000,000 being a terrorist beside me! The odds favor the "unfrightened" among U.S. that REALLY believe in America!

Outhouse60, I'm doing fine, nice of you to ask. Sorry YOU are not doing so well.

I don't know why anyone would accept Islamic radicals or any other "outlaw". Progressives certainly don't. I doubt you could find ONE unless she/he was "mentally challenged". WE want to make it hard for the terrorists of Islam to get guns in this country, conservatives shun any legislation to make it difficult. Seems to ME your barking up the wrong tree! WE don't like ANY terrorists, like, the President of Russia, the President of the Philippines, We're even cautious of the Saudi terrorists, you know, the ones who brought down the twin towers?? The ones Trump was "dancing" with? WE wouldn't feel honored to meet with Kim. WE don't listen to Putin's lies and accept the worlds WORST terrorist as a friendly "business acquaintance", a "friendly money supplier" that we should help, not hinder. No, Progressives DO NOT LIKE TERRORISTS, but, we believe in a persons right to follow their religion, we just don't allow religious freedom that goes against OUR Constitution, whether it be Islamic OR Christian OR Atheist OR .......whatever. WE also don't think the Constitution was written solely for conservatives! It was written for EVERY American citizen .... including Muslim American citizens! (AND it was written for "progressives"!)

Actually neither. If I were a terrorist intent on killing as many enemy as possible I would try to do it on a subtler and grander scale. Such as irreparably poison large reservoirs used for drinking supplies. It may not be as flashy as a bomb or a gun or as up close and personal as a machete, but you can literally make entire cities sick or uninhabitable by doing it, and if you're sneaky enough you could repeat it in many places over and over again before you'd get caught.

I voted on this side only so this answer would stand apart from the many "gun" answers.

Luckily for all of you and the world I am not a terrorist.
