domestic is the target and mindset prior to the attack. All of the attacks that have been stated
have occurred on soft targets, or targets that will be more vulnerable. The office party in San
Bernardino were all unarmed guests having a Christmas party, the two officers in Vegas were
ambushed and had no idea of the attack, during 9/11 the passengers were known not to be
armed, and in a nightclub where firearms are not allowed. All of these attacks also had the same
type of extremist view, the office party in San Bernardino, 9/11, and the Orlando nightclub were
all due to Islamic extremism, and the Vegas ambush was due to a married couple than had an
extreme anti-government view and wished to start a revolution with violence.
