One More Thing

The American people should not heed various Senators and Congressmen and women blathering about the need for greater security, either in the totally crazy sense of carrying their own weapons or the unnecessary sense of body guards and plexiglass, because the security state is already too large and already threatens to undermine the Republic.  We don't have to (again) be stampeded into a bad decision because of a tragedy.  If we want to take steps to limit this kind of murderous rampage, whatever the cause, the answer is increased care of the sale and possession of guns.  It won't be perfect, and who said it would be, but better restrictions on guns on increasing police and expanding the state's power panopticon powers. We don't, in other words, have to back Austria's invasion just because someone got assassinated.
