America has been attacking for 10 years to "defend itself"
9/11 caused America to go off the deep end in a paranoid decades long war against a completely outmatched and unorganized enemy largely of its own imagining.
Is it any surprise that it has "Doomsday Preppers" and "Survivalists" who think that they must be overtly aggressive to counter perceived threats?
Are gun owners who purchase handguns and shotguns to "prepare" themselves for attack qualitatively different or is it just a difference of degree?
When both parties of the US act like nut cases, what do you really expect your culture to look like?
The US should have rebuilt the towers the very next year and said "Fuck you, terrorists, we're going on with our lives."
Instead, the whole country turned into "Doomsday Preppers".

with a loaded semi or fully automatic weapon and shooting everything that moves than I ever was or will be afraid of any terrorist group. If we're dead serious about the "war on terrorism" (which so far has been just a war on airline passengers... 
), then we need to tackle domestic terrorism as much as we do international terrorism.
