Which begs the question. Why is President Bush anti-2nd Amendment and is not allowing pilots to be armed? That simple step could have avoided this massacre and is the simplest way of averting this type of attack in the future. Why is this not being done? I trusted President Bush, why does he not trust us to protect ourselves? Isn't that the agenda of the Brady bunch? Do we need a bigger demonstration that government can't protect us than 6,500 dead Americans. Maybe 65,000 will be enough.

Myself, I dont agree with letting civilian citizens to carry guns on the airlines but I do support the Idea of all police and military personel being authorized to do so when traveling.

And now the gun-grabbers are worrying about all the guns people are rushing to buy. Oh, oh, they might hurt themselves! How stupid are these people? How they believe that the more helpless we are, the more unable to defend ourselves, the safer we'll be? they must have slept through any "Critical Thinking" and "Rational Thought" units they had in school. Oh, I forgot - the public schools don't teach that stuff - we can't have people thinking for themselves, now can we?

This attack takes us beyond mere confrontations over the validity and universality of the protections provided by the 2nd Ammendment. It begs us to ask the most difficult question: How did we get where we are today?

Answer: We denied our masculinity. We softened our spines. We delegated our responsibility to protect ourselves and families to agencies, some alphabetical, but most displaying badges.

Another time, another place, our Senators who sponsor disarmament(gun grabbing) legislation would have been run out of town on a rail. And a million Moms would have had more important things to do than crowd around a mall and bitch.

Our overseas adversaries would have had much more to fear from this era of Americans. And would have demonstrated it by showing more respect than they do today. We could change it, but I'm not so sure we have the collective spinal rigidity to get it done. Hypothetical: You're sitting in the livingroom and hear your kid screaming outside. Your neighbor is beating the crap out of him. Do you A) call 911, or B) grab the nearest baseball bat and pulverize the sonofab!tch!!?

If you chose B, then there is still hope.
