Arm the population.  An armed man or woman is not a victim.  Step back
from the victim disarmament laws and let people carry guns.

If there had been a single registered gun on every one of those planes
the twin towers would still be standing.  The one plane where the
passengers did not play the good victims never made its target.  We
don't need an army on the ground.  We simply need We the People to stand
up and say "NO!  This does not fly here."

The Iraq war is a distraction that is doing nothing for our security or
safety.  It is drawing troops away from where they are needed, it is
getting people killed for nothing.  Time to end what should not have
started in the first place.
