No, I would report it to the appropriate authorities and let them take care of it.

Now let me clarify, there is a difference between Self Defense, and Vigilantism.

I fully support the right of any individual to protect themselves. However, it sounds more like you are wanting to allow the "hunting" of terrorists, and that I do not support.

I'm saying KNOWN terrorists who say they WILL attack within our borders.

No government agency has, or will take action against them. Report it all you want, it will mean nothing.

You know who they are, where they are, and the target of their attack. The government will do nothing.

Will you?

After all, what is next? And who is a terrorist? A lot of people would claim (and with justification) that drug dealers and gang members are Terrorists. Should we go out hunting them also? Look, if you don't want to answer the question, it's okay not to...

And remember, I support self defense, but nobody has the right to kill another person. A person's death in the event of self defense is a consequence, but should never be the intent. Not to long ago there was a guy convicted of murder because after shooting a robber, he then gave the perp a "finishing shot" while he was laying on the ground. The scenario I set up is somewhat different.

I'm simply asking if, in the face of inaction by your government, would you act to stop terrorists from attacking us within our borders. It would appear as though you would not.

You can go ahead and respond to the poll, then, and say "No"...
