From more money for national security to greater acceptance of other cultures, Americans have many different ideas about how the U.S. can make them feel safer after terror attacks in San Bernardino and abroad.
"The best defense is a strong defense, so that would make me feel safer every day," Texan Stephanie Casco, 24, told NBC News in New York's Time Square.
President Obama said Sunday night that the U.S. military will "continue to hunt down terrorist plotters in any country where it is necessary" but noted that the face of terrorism has evolved from more large-scale attacks, like 9/11, to less complicated acts, such as mass shootings.
A recent MSNBC/Telemundo/Marist poll showed that 36 of Americans say a terrorist attack is their biggest worry, while 31 percent said it was gun violence in general. Another 17 percent said their biggest worry is being a victim of police brutality.
