UPDATED: They're just so 9/10

Obama and his flying monkeys (pun intended) did not think before they did an Air Force One NYC flyby. For anyone who 9/11 made an impact, the idea would have set off bells and whistles the second it was suggested. Not these guys.

For them it is still 9/10/2001. They ignore the true dangers of nuclear proliferation thinking that M.A.D will still work, thus no need for bolstering anti missile defense. They worry not about a small band of foreign invaders wreaking major havoc on cities and thus feel free to use DHS to attack their domestic political enemies. They still buy into the wrong headed notion that appeasing our enemies will buy us good will, completely ignoring the fact that 9/11 showed the world that you can strike the American Homeland.

Sadly for many on the left, nothing has changed since 9/11.

UPDATED 4/28/2009

It now turns out that there is a FAA memo that indicates the Feds, knew the flight would cause panic and did it anyway. They even went as far as to demand that NYPD and the Mayor's Office not mention it to the public. Talk about arrogance!

The False Logic of Gun Control.

Today marks another day of senseless violence. Another shooter enters a public place and begins firing. As always the end is so predictable. Several dead, several wounded, families destroyed and no one saw it coming.

Our "leaders" will do all the same things they always do. They will try to feel our pain and they will offer the same old solution ... stronger gun control.

We have been doing this for years now and the result is always the same, another senseless killing. Too many politicians follow the false logic that, if we could just keep the guns out of the wrong hands, this would never happen. But here is the cold hard fact, YOU CAN'T. Even if were were to ban guns all together, stuff like this can still happen. Why?

Gun control laws only effect the law abiding. They do nothing for people who flaunt the laws. Look at Mexico. The Mexican government says that the drug cartel is armed to the tooth because they get their weapons from the US. Stop and think about that. If these illegal drug czars can get weapons out of the USA, what is to stop them from bringing them back in after a total gun ban? They have no problem sneaking themselves or their drugs into this country. Could you imagine what a gun would be worth on the black market if we banned guns in America? Let's put it this way, the Drug Czars would become Gun Czars.

The UK banned guns a few years ago and guess what? Not what they thought it would be. Why is gun crime up over there? Simple you never took the guns out of the hands of people who would regularly use one for crime.

So what is the solution? Stop, trampling on Second Amendment rights. Allow law abiding people to defend themselves. Our Constitutional rights are God given. Isn't defending yourself a God given right? Why should the state be the only way to defend yourself with deadly force?

Think about today's shooting in Upstate NY. No one in that office was armed. They were all at the mercy of the shooter. Had one or more been armed, there is a chance they would have picked him off rather than the other way around. Look at all these shootings, Mumbai for example, such a small number of terrorist could wreck havoc against so many unarmed people. If so much as 5% of the public had been armed, those terrorist would have been stopped in their tracks within moments.

People can handle themselves. That is the belief our nation was founded on. Yes there are bad people out there, and that is exactly why the good people need a fighting chance.
