        That's one way to get gun control... Take over some of the most important rights at the core of our "freedom".

        True. And I DO also want gun control. But this is all just a show to make us THINK they're working for it.

        It's always like that. Controlling citizens fear and phobia are the strongest weapon to control people.

        @njf404 that's the whole point of NSA mass surveillance: to thwart these attacks b4 it happens. Yet were we are, and they failed (again).
