The real impact of terrorism is only the fear we feel as a result. Alcohol is much more dangerous.

Compromising the principles on which the country was founded would be a victory only for the terrorists. For US citizens, and the rest of the world, it would be a tremendous shame.

If the principle you are referring to is unchecked immigration, that has never really been a principle in the US, even going back to the Ellis Island days. Alcohol, deer running across the highway, and bathtubs are currently more deadly than terrorist attacks. You can be sure that there are people that want to nothing more out of life than to change those statistics, and there's no reason to make it easier for them to accomplish their goals.

Terrorists generally don't want to curb gun violence, no.
