Either way, we have two significant problems:
1) it's too easy for American citizens to get their hands on guns. Murder and suicide rates are lower in other developed countries who have gun control laws. Some find another way, but overall the rate is lower. That screams that we need major gun control and that the 2nd amendment needs to go.
2) If you create a paper trail or voice recording that shows you pledge allegiance to ISIS, you should be treated as an enemy of the state and a combatant. You should be captured and tried for treason, or killed just as an enemy soldier would on a battlefield. We should be at war with these people within our own borders. It matters not whether they are/were US citizens.

I agree with you that these two points are a problem. Unfortunately, many people are going to use point #2, to disregard or take the focus away from point #1.
It seems that even the threat of terrorism, which has led this country to do some questionable things, will not be strong enough to negatively affect the political power of the gun lobby in this country.
