ISIS targets average Americans

Thoughts?

http://www.ibtimes.com/isis-attack-u...verage-2367017

Seems like a powerful and innovative new tool in terrorism to me.

The chief beneficiary, the NRA? That was my first thought.

Put's skin in the game of the average citizen for the first time since the abolishment of the draft.

Just a propaganda effort from ISIS taking place after them getting their asses handed to them in Iraq and Syria.

Good observation as you always have but doesn't this work none the less?

If I appear on a list, don't I go get another gun? Yes, even I think I would. Why? You don't know which sympathizer here may target you.

I doubt that the preponderance of Americans will even bother reading the list. I won't. Will you?

The folks who appear on the list have been notified by our government so no need to read.

Would I look? Depends how much time I had on my hands.

Probably got the idea from that last episode of "House of Cards".
