    Bravo!

    Not to be trite, but reading this piece put me in mind of that line from Raiders of the Lost Ark: "Asps. Very dangerous. You go first." Having said that, bravo Mr. Shapiro for having gone first and speaking the heretofore unthinkable!

    I look forward to the day-- the good Lord willing it will come in my lifetime-- when I can sport a "No more Virginia Techs. Repeal the 2nd Amendment" bumper sticker without fear of being libeled as unAmerican. Or shot with a Glock.
