I had to laugh when I read this headline on MSNBC...


Omaha mall massacre renews security debate
America's choice: Airport-style security or accept chance tragedy can strike


Because, of course, the choice can't be... [wait for it]
GUN CONTROL!

Because, of course, the framers of our Constitution believed that a 19 year old with a history of mental problems and death threats has the right to bear an AK-47 assault rifle!

I'm so sick and gawdamned tired of the NRA and its ilk hiding behind the Constitution because massacres in schools and colleges and department stores and office buildings and homes is NOT what our Founding Fathers sought to protect when they wrote in the Second Amendment:

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

So, it's way past time that gun control get added to, "America's choice...."
