Guns Stopped Terror: Licensed to Carry, and Maybe to Live

On the one hand, we live in a world in which they now grow grapes that taste like cotton candy. Those grapes are, in a word, amazing.
On the other hand, we live in a world of “miracle and wonder” in which the “bomb in the baby carriage was wired to the radio.” Now the radio might be a bluetooth detonator, or the weapon might be a knife or a pressure cooker, but the principle is the same. Savages are using our technology against us in our own streets:

NEW YORK -- Authorities are investigating three incidents -- explosions in New York and New Jersey and a stabbing attack in Minnesota -- that took place within a 12-hour period on Saturday and sowed fears of terrorism.
Officials said they could identify no definitive links between the disturbances — a bombing that hurt 29 in Chelsea, an explosion along the route of a scheduled race in Seaside Park, N.J., and a stabbing that wounded nine in a St. Cloud, Minn., mall.
But each incident in its own right raised the possibility of terrorist connections, prompting federal and local law enforcement to pour major resources into determining exactly what happened and why.

Whatever you do, say some politicians, don't call it “terrorism.” Or, if you're Hillary Clinton, you give a confusing, passionless, lethargic statement and then do nothing, or blame a YouTube movie.
