What an asinine idea! This past week, we were sadly reminded that guns in the hands of the aggrieved or the disturbed can produce horrific consequences.
Just as the nation dealt with the shock of an Army psychiatrist killing 13 and causing injury to another 38 on Thursday at Fort Hood in Texas, a disgruntled former employee of an engineering firm went on a gun rampage on Friday that killed one and injured another six in Orlando, Florida.
Both incidents are tell-tale signs that guns continue to pose one of the largest threats to homeland security.
Yet, read the last National Strategy put out by the Department of Homeland Security or read the Obama administration's list of homeland security priorities and you'll be hard pressed to find a discussion of the gun threat.
When will we wake up? Guns are a threat to our nation's security
