Why All Mass Shootings Are Terrorist Attacks

"We love lone wolves.

I would like to introduce my latest guest blogger, who would like to make a specific point about terrorism. I have demonstrated that the vast majority of domestic terrorism is committed by the right—yet it seems like I may have understated the case due to different definitions of what constitutes domestic terrorism. As I think about a certain family that are held in high esteem by the Stupidparty, who are in actuality little more than a bunch of domestic terrorists—this Bundy family also give us a glimpse of what the future might look like if a Stupidparty leader becomes President—it is not like Trump is shy about threatening and promoting violence."

Branch Davidians didn't attack anyone, i don't know how you call them a terror attack.

But that is all off of my major point, if all mass shootings (4 or more victims?) are called terrorist attacks, what are we going to call what we want to recognize as terror attacks?

I want to see a gang shooting in Chicago reported as crime news, while I want to know about terror acts that are part of an ongoing international terror war directed at our nation and that are intertwined with international law, foreign policy, national defense, the CIA and the military, and foreign governments and organizations, and spying, and war like concerns, etc, etc, etc.
