No, I'm afraid, no deal. However much it may annoy you. Because the point is that anyone who owns a people-killing tool owns it all the time: when he is happy and when he is sad, when he is optimistic and when he is depressed, when he is angry or when he is calm. And in any mood, in any circumstance, the only thing that the people-killing tool does is kill. Or at least injure. I have said what I have said because I live in another country and there is an ocean between us. If I were in the US, I would not feel very happy about saying it in a country where there are more guns than people and not all the people are quite sane.

And I would point out that if you use your LJ to vent, a right I do not in the lest deny you, you are a bit unreasonable in not expecting me to use mine to vent from my point of view. Those people who shot on the rescue helicopters were not terrorists. They were normal Americans trying to get out - and using force to get their way.
