Motive
Contributing Factors
Why This Contributes to Terror
Fear of a loss to or restriction of
the right to bear arms under Second Amendment
Deliberations and suggestions to restrict the Second Amendment would be swayed by the rise in incidents of gun violence. While sporadic gunshots may contribute to this
dread, it is most exacerbated by
incidents of mass shootings and
school shootings.
Any endeavor to restrict their ability to possess firearms would provoke a violent reaction from the general populace, militias, and extremist groups. This might lead to an increase in the incidence of domestic terrorism.
Perceived diminishment of rights for freedom of speech under First Amendment
There is a widespread perception that individuals can express any message on social media, and that the honesty of online utterances is like that of face-to-face conversations. The usage of social media is accelerating the spread of this worldview. Individuals who face
punishments for expressing difficult thoughts in public or on
the internet support the claim that freedom of speech has been limited.
Certain domestic terrorist organizations may engage in actions due to apprehensions that the First Amendment, which safeguards the freedom of expression, will potentially face restrictions in the times to come.
Extremist beliefs (religious)
Religious fanatics hold the belief that their actions are guided by a heavenly being or a higher power. Their unwavering
conviction in the righteousness of their actions would render them invincible.
The notion of being compelled to yield to a higher authority, without any alternative, might potentially lead to acts of terrorism, so exacerbating the existing tragedy.
Extremist beliefs (political)
Organizations might experience a sense of duty to embrace a particular stance in response to political radicalism. A number of
political ideologies that are widely held in modern society demonstrate an antagonistic and inflexible stance towards opposing perspectives.
Terrorism becomes worse when
radicals insist on forcing their political viewpoint on everyone.
Acts of violence, bombings, or attempts to topple the government could result from this.
Traumatic event At any time, a traumatic event has the capacity to drastically alter anyone's perspective. After a traumatic occurrence, an individual's view on life and This propensity adds to the propagation of fear because persons who have been through traumatic events may choose to vent their rage on

innocent people.
Defend one’s country from ethnic and/or cultural replacement Racism is a major motivating factor for white supremacist terrorist groups. They are of the
opinion that white people are superior to other people and that white people should be the
only ones who may possess property. However, it is possible
that this viewpoint is also shared by other ethnic groups.
Certain factions may reject them to demonstrate supremacy over a certain racial group, resulting in increased tensions and even acts of violence. White nationalists believe that white people are inherently superior and have a moral imperative to avoid any form of racial mixing at any cost.
Perceived victimization
It is possible that those who have been through traumatic experiences in the past tend to engage in violent behavior. People who are victims frequently suffer from mental illness and low self-esteem.
This raises concerns since any group might be targeted. Individuals who have been abused frequently demonstrate a lack of empathy and may engage in acts designed to cause others to suffer the same way they have. Despite unfair allegations, individuals would have a great need to feel a feeling of power.
