Opinion: After another synagogue shooting, we need better laws to fight domestic terrorists
On Sunday, Leslie Gollub, left, and Gretchen Gordon hug at a vigil held to support the victims of the Chabad of Poway synagogue shooting in Poway, Calif.
A chilling sign of the obstacles law enforcement faces in combating right-wing terrorists came last week in a federal courtroom in Maryland. A judge announced Thursday that he would have to release from custody Christopher Paul Hasson, the Coast Guard lieutenant who had amassed 17 weapons with the alleged intent to kill Democratic politicians and journalists. Hasson was even stockpiling opioids and human growth hormone so he would have superhuman energy during his killing spree.
Why hasn’t Congress done so already? The stock answer is that legislators don’t want to infringe on the First Amendment rights of domestic extremists. The free-speech concerns are real, but they did not stop us from cracking down on Islamist terrorism after 9/11. They should not stop us from cracking down on white-supremacist terrorism today.
