data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The open Southern Border is of utmost concern to anyone\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">who is<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0wise enough to realize that such a situation is unsustainable for the survival of a nation.\u00a0\u00a0Not only does the influx of unmitigated and unregulated ILLEGAL migration strain national resources, but it has also introduced a host of security threats.\u00a0Hidden among the constant stream of border crossers is human trafficking and narcotics importation.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Perhaps most\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">worrisome<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0of all is the fact that, for the past several years, bad actors in league with foreign entities who intend to commit terror attacks against the United States can\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">literally<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">just<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0walk in.<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0\u00a0This situation has resulted in even federal agencies admitting that the threat of terror cells is\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">very real<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Still, whether or not terror cells activate at some point, which is a real possibility, a consistent threat that has always been with us\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">certainly<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0remains so, and that is the lone wolf terrorist.\u00a0Lone wolf essentially means that an individual acts of their own accord to commit a mass-casualty or terror event.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The individual may well swear allegiance to a terrorist group or cause, but they are not directly supported by the group.<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0\u00a0In terms of Jihadi-type terrorism, some lone wolves have been \u201cradicalized\u201d by fringe religious leaders or groups<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, but more<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0often than not, the individual simply goes looking for a degenerate cause to latch onto\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">in order to<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0self-justify the terrible violence they wish to commit.\u00a0\u00a0The truth is, all such mass attacks, whether workplace or school shootings, in supposed retaliation for bullying or oppression or attacks, steeped in extremist ideology, are committed by people of a similar mentality, no matter the particulars.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Examples in Recent History<\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The threat of lone wolf\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">attack<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0is nothing new.\u00a0\u00a0In the past several decades, we have seen numerous iterations of it.\u00a0\u00a0The Oklahoma City bombing in 1995, in which Timothy McVeigh killed 168 people with an improvised explosive, is one such example.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">While\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">any number of<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0groups have\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">been suggested<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0as\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">being<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0somehow involved, McVeigh acted essentially alone.<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0\u00a0The Pulse Nightclub shooting in 2017\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">was carried out<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0by a single individual who, in some roundabout way, swore allegiance to the terrorist group ISIS right before the attack.\u00a0\u00a0Likewise, the married couple who committed the San Bernadino Christmas party shooting were also in\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">allegiance<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0to terror groups, though there was no direct funding or support from said groups.<\/span><\/p>\n<div

data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Regardless of ideology, the individuals who perpetrate such acts\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">are simply filled<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0with hate to the point that their declared reasons for the violence are hardly coherent.\u00a0\u00a0This class of criminal seeks to inflict carnage on a society that they deem oppressive in some fashion, whether it be the vengeful workplace shooter or a newly self-appointed terrorist.\u00a0\u00a0The allegiance made to terror groups in such instances\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">is most often done<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0so well after the intended violence is in mind.\u00a0\u00a0Potential lone wolf attackers are ever present, but political and international events can further motivate them to emerge.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Current Trends of Concern<\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The most\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">obvious<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0international event of interest is the latest\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Israeli%E2%80%93Palestinian_conflict\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Israeli\u2013Palestinian conflict<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">is a struggle that<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0has been raging for decades, but the\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">latest<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0carnage has ignited outrage on both sides of the issue around the world.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Unfathomable acts of violence have been perpetrated by citizens of the United States on fellow citizens because of this entirely foreign conflict.<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0\u00a0The fact is that this war is also sure to expand in that region of the world, further igniting hostilities between the United States and our long-held enemies, many of which support terror organizations.\u00a0Therefore, the environment is ripe for\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">lone wolf<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0attacks motivated by such international complications.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Defensive Considerations<\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Lone wolf attacks that\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">are affiliated<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0with terrorism have often presented in different ways compared to the more common active shooter\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">attack<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">.\u00a0\u00a0While active shooting incidents have been the dominant form of mass murder, the use of explosives and vehicle attacks have\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">been witnessed<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0domestically and far more internationally.\u00a0\u00a0The active shooter is a threat that the armed citizen has been overwhelmingly effective at neutralizing when an armed citizen is on site.\u00a0\u00a0Of course, such monsters intentionally pick gun-free zones for such attacks most of the time, and that will continue to be the usual.\u00a0\u00a0Stay armed at all times possible and avoid mass-murderer empowerment zones (gun-free zones).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Also, be\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">cognizant<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0of the further potential for explosives in mass attacks\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">going forward<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">.\u00a0\u00a0We have already witnessed this in the Boston Marathon bombing and the Oklahoma City bombing, as well as the first bombing of the World Trade Center.\u00a0\u00a0Internationally, lone wolf attackers have also used explosives.\u00a0\u00a0The 2011 active shooting attack on an island in Norway\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">was preceded<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0by an explosion in Oslo that killed eight people, the device\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">being left<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0by the lone wolf shooter who went to the island.\u00a0\u00a0Explosives are scary and prove a choice tool for terrorism.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The state of our world continues to deteriorate, and\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">the armed<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">citizen<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0should consider the escalated threat
