This is the "Letter to the Editor" I've been mailing out:

New Omnibus Anti-Gun/Anti-Speech Law Coming?

According to Newsmax.com, Senator Barack Obama said, "the tragedy offers America a chance to examine violence in our culture, including the "verbal violence" expressed by radio personality Don Imus in his rant about the Rutgers University women's basketball team...."

If he said this, then we should be on the watch for omnibus legislation outlawing all types of "violence." Don't forget that 45 days after 9/11 we had the USA PATRIOT Act, which makes you a "domestic terrorist" if you, among other things, break a federal law or a state law. The U.S. Congress passed the PATRIOT Act as a knee-jerk reaction to 9/11 then said later they didn't have time to read the thing before voting on it. The same thing could be shaping up in the wake of the Virginia Tech shootings. Congress could be pressured to vote on a sweeping "anti-violence" bill that would take away our guns, our right to free speech, and our rights, period.
