Meet the Texas Taliban

The saying is that Pakistan is not a country with an army but an army with a country. That's what we're becoming: a gun-owning army with a country. I saw a piece on MSNBC where four women were having lunch in Dallas to discuss gun control when, out of nowhere, a gang of people armed to the teeth congregated across the street brandishing their assault rifles, other weapons and crude signs about the Second Amendment. This is a scene I couldn't imagine happening in any civilized country. After little children have been gunned down in Newtown and there is a shooting rampage on the news every night, the nation is numb. After all, in 2010 11,078 Americans were victims of homicide with firearms and another 73,505 were intentionally shot and survived. Twenty five other countries with a larger combined population had 1300 homicides. Each of these countries has either removed or restricted the possession of handguns My advice is to keep the Stars & Stripes at half mast every day of the year. The NRA is calling the shots (pun intended) in this country.
