Fighting Terrorism: Europe vs. Texas  by -
There are no simple answers to Islamist terrorism, particularly when individual nutjobs are determined to kill a bunch of innocent people.
But I know that some answers to the problem are wrong. So when politicians like Hillary Clinton say we should have more gun control, 
I side with police chiefs who recognize that an armed citizenry is a much more effective approach. Simply stated, we’re dealing with evil people who want to maximize death, so they pick out places where they are less likely to
encounter armed resistance.
The European response to terrorism is especially insipid. Law-abiding people are disarmed while
terrorists have no problems obtaining all the guns they need.
Which leads to terrible consequences with tragic regularity.
I’m not sure how to categorize this sarcastic look at how Europe responds to a terror attack compared to how Texas responds, but it does make the key point that it’s better to shoot back than die meekly

Consider this the terrorism version of the joke comparing how the governors of Texas and California respond to a coyote attack.*
Though this is a deadly serious issue, not a joking matter.
P.S. If you want some genuine terror-related humor, look at the bottom of this post.
P.P.S. And if you want something truly pathetic, look at how statists try to rationalize terrorism.

*The Coyote Joke
CALIFORNIA: The Governor of  California is jogging with his dog along a nature trail. A coyote jumps  out, bites the Governor and attacks his dog.
1. The Governor starts to intervene, but reflects  upon the movie “Bambi” and then realizes he should stop; the coyote is  only doing what is natural.
2. He calls animal control. Animal Control  captures the coyote and bills the State $200 testing it for diseases and $500  for relocating it.
3. He calls a veterinarian. The vet collects  the dead dog and bills the State $200 for testing it for diseases.
4. The Governor goes to hospital and spends  $3,500 getting checked for diseases from the coyote and on getting his  bite wound bandaged.
5. The running trail gets shut down for  6 months while Fish & Game conducts a $100,000 survey to  make sure the area is free of dangerous animals.
6. The Governor spends $50,000 in state funds to  implement a “coyote awareness” program for residents of the area.
7. The State Legislature spends $2 million  to study how to better treat rabies and how to permanently  eradicate the  disease throughout the world.
8. The Governor’s security agent is  fired for not stopping the attack somehow and for letting the  Governor attempt to intervene.
9. Additional cost to State of California:  $75,000 to hire and train a new security agent with additional special  training re: the nature of coyotes.
10. PETA protests the coyote’s  relocation and files suit against the State.
TEXAS: The Governor of Texas is  jogging with his dog along a nature trail. A Coyote jumps out, bites  the Governor’s leather boot, and attacks his dog.
1. The Governor shoots the coyote with his State-issued  pistol and keeps jogging. The Governor has spent $0.50 on a .45 ACP  hollow point cartridge.
2. The buzzards eat the dead coyote.
And that, boys and girls, is why California is  broke………..
