The drills that coincide with tragedies in the past years have been a 
bit of a surprise to me. This one, 9/11, the train station bombing in 
London. Are there so many drills going on at any given time that there 
will be a coincidence, or is it more than that? I really don't know.

I hate to think of murder of innocent people taking place to get laws 
passed, but I am convinced of criminal activity taking place to do so.

I'm fairly certain that the "Fast and Furious" (guns to Mexico) 
situation was specifically designed to further anti-gun legislation. Not 
necessarily to get anyone killed, but to get laws passed.

I realize that many people in the U.S. are afraid of guns, and playing 
on that fear is a useful tactic, but people such as myself who live in 
and grew up in an area where guns are common may be much harder to 
convince to be afraid. It's quite common to be around people with a gun 
strapped to their hip in a convenience store, and I personally feel 
safer knowing that people around me may be armed.

There is a big play against guns in this administration, but I'm not 
sure if they have resorted to directly murdering people to get their way 
or not. (I hope not).
