After all the fuss about the launch and progress of the anti-Trump petition strangely there seems to be far less coverage of the more recent pro-Trump variant. I wonder why that is?
Just for anyone who hasn't yet seen it:

Yep, as all his predecessors have found it's impossible to change the US's gun laws in any meaningful way but that's not an argument for doing nothing about the many other security related problems the US faces which he can do something about.
The real danger of terrorism isn't the one off grand attack, it's the creation of an environment in which radicals can spread their evil amongst the population. That's what happened here when we allowed the likes of Abu-Hamza to preach hatred on our streets for years and did nothing. The legacy of that we're going to be dealing with for decades to come and who knows how many lives have been or will be lost as a result of the seeds which were sown then but which were largely ignored at the time. We can argue about the efficacy of any chosen methods of dealing with these problems but there's no logical argument for doing nothing until the killings start because by then it's too damned late.
