Brevard County, Florida, Sheriff Wayne Ivey has a surprising response to the threat of terrorism and mass shootings. The veteran law enforcement officer thinks that Americans should arm themselves to protect their communities.

“It is a known fact that the best law enforcement agencies in the country have response times in minutes, yet violent criminals can take our lives in seconds,” Ivey said in a video posted on the sheriff’s office Facebook page. “Law enforcement officers in San Bernardino arrived on scene approximately four minutes after the incident was first reported. Even with that incredible response time, they arrived too late, to find too many dead or critically wounded.

Sheriff Ivey’s Warnings

If a mass shooting can take place in places as diverse as South Carolina and California, it can happen anywhere, Ivey said.

“Now, more than ever before” he said, “is the time for law enforcement and our citizens to be fully prepared for an attack or an active shooter scenario with the right tools to eliminate or disrupt the attack. It is time to stop reacting — and instead — proactively engage anyone who threatens harm through terrorism or mass killings.”

Can the New Terrorist Strategy Be Stopped?

Meanwhile, Baylor University professor Philip Jenkins wrote in the American Conservative that groups like ISIS are using lone wolf terrorist tactics – tactics that are difficult to stop.

Jenkins noted that in the 1980s the neo-Nazi movement in the United States collapsed because it had been penetrated by the FBI and other law enforcement agencies. In response, some leaders promulgated a theory of leaderless resistance, which encouraged their followers to simply go out and carry out attacks on their own.
