Bombs equal terror; guns don’t qualify
Walking through the neighborhood one day last week with my dog, Lakoda, I saw a strange sight. Approaching me in the midday sun is a man swinging a lantern with a super bright LED light that can be seen for several blocks.
“What you doing?” I asked.
“Looking for one Republican with courage and who isn’t afraid of the NRA,” he replies, and he moves on down the street swinging his LED-powered lantern.
The pressure cooker bomb used Monday in Boston is considered a weapon of mass destruction and the attack Monday considered an act of terrorism.
The weapon used to murder 26 Americans at Sandy Hook Elementary School is not considered a weapon of mass destruction and the event not an act of terrorism. The 26 dead at Sandy Hook become no more than 26 dead on the altar of the Second Amendment.
