From the article: "The goal here is not to get mad but to get even. "

No. The goal is to regain my right to keep and bear a pocket-knife.

There is something very distressing about viewing militant enemies parading in front of the cameras waving thier AK-47s. Here is Kalifornia I am denied possession of my rifle because it has a pistol grip on it.

What is wrong with the people of our country that they choose weakness instead of strength? What is wrong with Chris Matthews that he does not wonder about a plane load of passengers who are helpless in the face of a box-cutter?

It is no wonder that every bully in the world chooses us as a target.

That is really the point, isn't it? How can 80 or 90 Americans sit in their seats and watch as flight attendants are murdered? Are we so conditioned to deadly passivity that we cannot even react to an outrage like this? The three passengers who apparently DID attack the hijackers are considered to be heros- which implies an extraordinary degree of courage. This country used to have a whole lot of folks who could be counted on to fight back- where are they?
