You know I hate to say it, but is there any law that can be made that would prevent terrorism? No. Terrorists are fanatical and will do anything to terrorize and use anything at their disposal.
Seriously, what do we have in place right now to stop a group of madmen who decide to create home made vest bombs, go to a downtown sporting event where over 50,000 usually attend, have one go to each entrance gate and detonate themselves? The ONLY defense we have against this is intelligence. People don't like the idea of "big brother" and watching all of our communications, etc, but intelligence has truly been the only deterrent to stopping attacks.
More guns, or allowing people to carry firearms is not the answer. Causes more panic and raises the risk of collateral damage.
If there were no guns, just picture this for a second, no guns at all. terrorists would still find ways to cause terror and panic. Anyone remember the crazy jewish man stabbing people in the street at a gay pride parade? Determined fanatics will always find a way to cause terror. We need more intelligence and surveillance, I hate the argument about our privacy. If you have nothing to hide, you should have nothing to fear. The government doesn't care about your love affair or your addiction to porn.

We are not made happy by what we acquire but by what we appreciate.
