FBI surrounds house of Saudi student after sightings of him with pressure cooker pot

Regardless of whether or not they had a "lucky punch," Latino terrorists do not seem to be attempting grand operations intending to kill thousands upon thousands of Americans.

Again, I do not consider organized crime terrorism. When I think of terrorists, I think of people who are undertaking violent operations in order to raise public/governmental awareness concerning a political issue that they are trying to change or bring to fruition. While Mexican cartels may be a large threat, they are not trying to overthrow the U.S. government or trying to get some favorable political outcome. The cartels just want to expand their business and rake in more profits. What they are doing has little to do with Islamic terrorists or terrorism as a whole.

Then you're using the wrong word's.

Noun

The use of violence and intimidation in the pursuit of political aims.


Drug cartels manipulate the black market of essentially drugs and weapons, use the money and influence to pay off authorities. Look at mexico, that is terrorism, what exactly does Muslim zealots want? They have no demands besides "die", that sounds more like a genocide issue.

Which kind of defeats the point of gun regulation since they have no problem smuggling tons of cocaine through Canada let alone high powered rifles.
