I we just give up some of our freedom we could stop future bombings (middle east, politicians)

If we just limited marathon watchers and participants to 10, it would limit how many people a bomber could kill. We need common sense controls on our freedoms to make sure that fewer people could get hurt. This is just common sense.

No change is required or would be useful. Mass murder by bomb is no different than mass murder by gun except the gunman usually kills himself which prevents him from repeating his crime.

Yeah this is a sad day for America, we will inevitably get a guaranteed renewal of the Patriot Act, NDAA, stepped up drone surveillance, more cops abusing powers and we have proved the CIA/FBI/NSA is worthless as it couldn't stop an alleged 20 yr old Saudi on a student visa from getting HE?

Foreign occupation is clearly the motivation for the terrorist(s), the quicker we would get ourselves out of the middle east and work on the issues at home (debt/spending/inflation/jobs) we would be more secure.

So, so far, we can surmise that probably about what $50,000 went into this attack? We will not spend billions on investigations, bloated government responses, politicians being distracted, people will now be less free and this is another talking point for both sides to further strip down the constitutional rights of Americans to try and make us safer.

Let call a spade a spade, if all signs point to another young, muslim from the middle east are we ready to end this non-sense of political correctness?

Every person who promotes political correctness has blood on their hands, how anyone from Saudi Arabi is even allowed to move without being monitored while on a 'student visa' and obtain HE is an absolute outrage.

PC is being used against us, forced integration along with endless wars is going to be the mortal strike of this country and get more and more people killed.

Or if we register trash cans, we could end trash can bombs.

Sorry Greg you are wrong here - most terrorists are Suicide bombers/ Martyers.

All of post #3 is supposition. There is no evidence of any kind released on the bomber(s).

No comment on obtaining explosives except to suggest we would be a lot safer if these guys made their own Nitro. I suggest they cook the reactants to increase the production rate. The results would likely be gene pool improvment by self elimination.

How would limiting your freedom to start a sentence with multiple pronouns stop future bombings?
I'm all for this idea, but how would that work, exactly?
