30,000 people a year die from gunfire in the US, but no one seriously proposes to take away the 2nd Amendment. Even more people die from traffic accidents, yet the right to drive isn’t being seriously restricted. Inclusive of 9/11, about 4,000 people have died from terrorism on US soil IN THE LAST 20 years. 200 per year. Puts things in perspective a bit, doesn’t it?
The risk of death from terrorism is just the price we have to pay for living in a relatively free society. Keep in mind that bombings were pretty common in the 70s and 80s, but no one was a paranoid Nazi about the risk until after 9/11.
