Domestic Terrorists

If the 21 year old punk who slaughtered 7 people at a black church in Charleston had been a muslim, there would be howls of outrage from the right.  Lindsay Graham would be calling for the President's impeachment for not keeping us safe.  Billions more would be appropriated for homeland security.  However, since it is apparently a home grown racist with a handgun, we only hear the chirping of crickets from the other side.   Some gun rights advocates are making a half-hearted argument that there should be guns in churches so some "good guy" could have taken down Dylan Roof.  The overwhelming evidence says citizens are far more likely to commit crimes with guns than defend against them.  It is ironic we have spent trillions since 9/11 to defend ourselves against terrorism and yet more people have been killed by our fellow citizens with guns than have perished due to the World Trade Center bombings.  Every year, thousands die from handguns and we listen to the NRA tell us we need more of them to keep us safe.   It is the same Bizarro World the Shrub's administration sold us: black is white, up is down, etc.  When will we wake up.
