  33. What Could be Done? If government ever really wants to get rid of terrorism, they could. All it would take is: Remove any "law" that makes self defense punishable on the ground or in the air! Remove "laws" regulating ownership and carrying of weapons Stop meddling with other countries and stop molesting and killing people in other lands. Abide by the very clear language and intent of the entire Bill of Rights.
