Our ever-vigilant friends on the right are, not surprisingly, positively ecstatic over recent terrorist activity, it being in their view yet another demonstration of the Obama Administration's incompetence, naivete, duplicity, or whatever. Personally, I'm less comfortable with the level of prudence that brought us 9/11, but let's not quibble here.
Rather, I've been thinking that as defenders of the Second Amendment, these guys should be as pleased with people bearing bombs boarding aircraft as they are with the fact that we kill 28,000 or so of each other with guns every year. A bomb, after all, is nothing but a form of fire arm, and by God we have a right to carry them suckers anywhere we want. Well, OK, maybe not into the halls of Congress (and what's up with THAT?), or onto aircraft, or... Hey, wait a minute! If I want to wander wherever with my IED or my Glock 10, the government should be defending my right, not abridging it. And here are these wimpola guys on the right siding with the Obama Administration! Jeez, ya can't count on nobody.
