Main article: threatening terrorism against the United States
18 U.S.C. § 2332b(1)(g) makes it a class C felony, punishable by 10 years imprisonment, for someone to willfully threaten to commit a crime that will result in death or great bodily harm; the threat is made with the specific intent that it be taken as a threat; the threat is so unequivocal, unconditional, and specific as to convey a gravity of purpose and immediate prospect of execution; the threat actually causes fear in the victim; and the fear is reasonable.[4]

BTW, you do realize that "everybody" just ins't the folks that agree with you? There are plenty who state they have no committed a terrorist or violent act
