That is much of what I read into this article:
Threat Of Right-Wing Extremism In U.S. Debated By Feds, Analysts
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/07/28/right-wing-extremism-united-states_n_911102.html
From the article:
Right-wing extremist activity increased in 2008 and 2009 and has stayed persistent in 2010 and 2011, says former DHS domestic terror analyst Daryl Johnson, who founded a consulting firm that tracks extremist activity. He produced the 2009 report that created a political firestorm after it warned of a surge in right-wing extremism due to the election of the country's first black president and the economic recession.
Johnson says extremists have been active, with several shootings in the past several months. He says the militia movement "exploded" over the last two years and that groups have been "stockpiling weapons and plotting to kill government officials in Michigan and Alaska."
"A Norway incident could definitely happen here; the same things that played into the Norway suspect's mindset are here in this country," Johnson said. "If anything, extremists are much more capable of committing violent acts here due to their access to weapons and ammunition, which they don't have in Europe."
That didn't seem to stop one guy in Norway!
There are so many weapons in this country that I think it speaks volumes for the fact that most gun owners are responsible citizens.
