When they talk about warantless wiretapping, Republicans are quick to say that the constitution should take a back seat to security. Well if we follow that login and apply it to the following news headlines this week, perhaps other rights should take a back seat:

Columbus mall shooting injures man in leg

Shooting occurred in two Christian places in US

9 Dead in Nebraska Mall Shooting

So let's take the Republican logic on our freedom of privacy and apply it to the second amendment. Perhaps it is time that we suspend it in the name of safety. Of course the Republicans and NRA will quickly denounce such a move, but we can easily call what is happening in our country terrorism.
