Am I the only one that thinks this is a bad idea?

There is a threat of someone bombing New York's street or subway system, so what do they do? Bring out the police and set up check points, and bring New York's already crowded streets to a standstill. Someone with a car bomb simply has to get stuck near one of these bottle necks to ensure a high body count.

There has to be a better way to address something like this.

    PC posturing to avoid panic. Just a public display of doing something. I would suppose there's more going on outside the public eye than we know though.
    I'm not saying you should use an M1A for home defense, but I'm also not saying you shouldn't.

    I sure hope that something effective is going on outside the public eye.

    Do the police ever announce ongoing undercover operations?  Do they ever announce the name of those giving tips BEFORE a trial or even before capture?

    IllinoisAfter a shooting spree, they want to take the guns away from everyone who didn't do it.

    SJW is not a synonym of "leftists" or "liberals". Left-wing and right-wing positions are based on economics. SJWs are left-authoritarians which means that they are not liberals. Don't paint all leftists or liberals with the same (misguided) brush.

    I never said it was effective. Zing! But seriously, I hope it is too.
