      ISIS carries out systematic terrorism in Muslim countries. Soccer stadiums in Iraq, tourist areas in Turkey. USA so far: "loon" lone wolves.

      Not downplaying mass political violence. It's destroying the Middle East. But US has different problem; troubled people with access to guns.

      @jeffjarvis @Yamiche how many people were killed on 9/11? What weapon was used there? The weapon of choice is not important.

      .@bryfree 9/11 was systematic terrorism by an organized group: rare. Response you need is different than loon lone wolves with guns: common.

          How do you *know* this is a "lone loon" and not someone motivated by ideology, or even outside handlers? Discrediting yourself.
