Hmm, lets see....
I take one 7-pound block of cyanide salt and place it in the outflow from the local water treatment plant, assuming the thing will mix with water and flow down the pipe to poison a small town. Perhaps not a lot of people will get sick enough to die, but some children sure might. Think of the wonderfull panic it would cause those infidels!
Or
Take that block of poison and mix some of it in with the mashed potatoes served in a school lunch, or senior center, or some food served at a dinner put on by a fire company fundraser.
The purpose of terrorsim is not mass death, which is possible with that seven pounds, properly used, but TERROR.
How many have to die to call it mass murder? Is fifty ok?
Or perhaps more, say one hundred fifty... Kids.
Your kids.
I say one death due to a terrorise is too many, and any pontential weapon, any that we remove from their hands is a good move.
I make no distinction on where a terrorist comes from. They are all the same regardless of motive.
And it could be anyone, me or you who suffers
