Thanks for the ping. Interesting read. I like what it says about the necessity of the 2nd Amendment. IMO, it's perhaps the most important amendment of them all. It's the lynch pin that keeps all the others secure. There shouldn't be any restrictions on any weapons, imo. The "dark, ugly side" of the 2nd Amendment is that it's meant to keep the citizenry as well armed as possible, to stand against any tyranical threat, both foreign and domestic. Can't do that if we ban guns for cosmetic reasons, or just because some nutcase doesn't use them responsibly.

I'll probably take some heat though for my support of Homeland Security. I don't think the author is right when he says that the government is asking us, "'Just give us the power to read all your email, listen to all your telephone conversations, examine all your bank accounts, know where you are every moment of your life, and to force you to have inoculations you do not want, and we will make you secure.'" It's not "everyone", rather people who are already suspect, like those student visas that expire, or those ME people coming over with passports from Canada or Mexico, engaging in already suspicious activity. Put another way, I haven't had my telephone tapped, or my bank accounts examined, or, (and this is perhaps the most laughable part of the author's 'concern') been forced to take inoculations I don't want. Never. Has anyone else here? I have yet to hear of one American citizen, doing nothing wrong, who's rights have been violated by the Patriot Act.
