Now here's a moral dilemma: If Al Qaeda shows up to assassinate Michael Bloomberg, what do you do?

Al Qaeda Mag Urges Attack on Koch Brothers, Buffett, Bloomberg
I am reminded of the constitutional militia meeting back in the 90s, when we heard that the ATF was targeting a local Klan group with a deadly raid. What to do? We despised this bunch, but agreed that they didn't deserve to die in a "Waco Jim" Cavanaugh-directed deadly raid. Finally, one of our guys in the back of the room held up his hand and offered a suggestion. "Why don't we just show up five minutes late and avenge their deaths?"
On the other hand, with Bloomberg you might want to engage AQ immediately under the theory, "Hey! YOU don't get to shoot that liberty-stealing anal sphincter. Only WE are allowed to shoot that liberty-stealing anal sphincter."
For if Meddling Mike WAS saved by the intervention of the armed citizenry, does anyone believe he would change his opinion of us and stop his citizen disarmament efforts? I doubt it.

Gee Mr. Bloomberg, I'd love to save your ass but the battery in my RFID tagged gun needs to be recharged. Oh, I don't seem to have my RFID bracelet with me. Too bad.

No moral dilemma.. Who cares if Blooming Idiotberg gets whacked? So an Anti-gunner drops due to terrorists? He would deserve it...Gun owners should stand by and let it happen...

When Boobberg dies, they had best cremate him - otherwise taxpayers are going to have fund the EPA and CDC for special Superfund cleanup of his grave site. From everyone defecating on it!

Nope. I go with your original compatriot. Show up 5 minutes late, avenge (unmourned) death.
I, personally, don't care how, where, or who "offs" Bloomin'idiot. Just so long as he's "offed".
As a bonus, you end up looking like heroes (killing America's invaders), instead of villains (killed one of America's beloved (/sarc) elites).

What do I do? I let them do their business, then I kill them. Never interrupt your enemy while he is making a mistake. I kill them because they are still my enemy, and because they have no business interfering with our internal affairs. It's not a moral dilemma, it's a win-win. Yes, I know, my morals are on par with that of the Nazis. I don't recall any goody-two-shoes in history coming out on top of a life and death struggle during a civilization collapse. We can survive, or we can be annihilated, make your choice.

There is no dilemma here. I can only pray that no innocents are harmed.

Please allow me to state my feelings as they pertain to Michael Bloomberg. I would not, under any circumstance, find it proper for me to urinate on his grave. I would, however, entertain the thought of owning the graveside beer tent concession.

And how would any of "our betters" being killed by the terror that they themselves created and unleashed be a bad thing? When evil does a good thing, It's still a good thing.

Same thing as if they targeted Kluxers, SJWs, NAZIs or NAMBLA members kill them as soon as they are done proving that they a threat by their murderous acts.

@ Sean, "Yes, I know, my morals are on par with that of the Nazis"

Sounds American to me. Gave Bloomscumberg a chance to defend himself, or be defended by his "crack" security team, then wipe out the enemy before they could take out anyone else who did NOT deserve it.

But that is just my opinion.

From good cover, pop open a beer, open a bag of popcorn and watch. After they take out Bloomberg, you will then have justification to use deadly force and take the terrorists out.

It's a simple tactical decision....you observe the battle and then ambush the survivors.

then make sure you police up any useful materials.

If my enemy is killing another of my enemies, I do not interfere, but allow them to complete the task.
Then I take out the remainder of my enemy.
Simple enough for even me to understand.

I think that, in practice, pretending to have been 'a good little disarmed citizen at the event' would be the best (and most practical) way to handle it.

It's the best because it avoids the whole "if only those gun owners had done something sooner" narrative. Instead it's free play for "if only there had been a good guy with a gun". And it avoids confusion, the last time you want to be running around with a gun and no badge is in the wake of the shooting of a high-profile anti-gunner. That falls into both "best" and "most practical" considerations.

If the terrorists actually get away as a result...that's an incredibly small price to pay, given that there are over a billion Muslims in the world and at least 1% of them are as likely to commit acts of terror in the future as someone who has already committed terrorism. So you fail to decrease the chances of future terrorism by about a hundred thousandth of a percent...if you're that interested in reducing the odds of future terrorism by infinitesimal fractions of a percent at any cost, find a radical mosque and get proactive. If not, then count letting the 'bad guys' get away this time as SOP and make sure your family and friends also understand that stopping terrorists from killing people you actually like is more important than risking life and freedom to kill terrorists who've just done you a giant favor.
