I wish. But in case you're serious, don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

"I am leaving."

There is nothing "random" about how we have armed ourselves, and there is nothing "random" about the filigree of high-flown rhetoric with which we justify arming ourselves, and there is nothing "random" about how we learn nothing every time someone who could be anyone decides to exercise his Second Amendment rights by opening fire. There is nothing random about how we got where we are today, here in Terminal 7, where people have sought refuge from the bloodshed, four terminals over. There is nothing "random" at all. We have chosen insanity over reason. We have done it with our eyes open. It is time for me to walk out of the airport now. I am leaving behind a terrible event. But I am not leaving behind something accidental. I am leaving behind what America has determined must happen from time to time, if we are to be a free people. I am leaving behind what America has determined is part of the cost of being an American. I am leaving behind the blood that I am told I must accept as part of the price of being a member of a free society. I am leaving behind a place of death, and I am joining my fellow citizens, as we make an odd pilgrimage out of a place that is now another altar of the blood sacrifice that I am told we must make, regularly, in order to be truly free. I am a free citizen, I am told, of the Republic of Murder, my rights guaranteed by the Constitution of Moloch. I am leaving.

1. Another shooting in a GFZ
2. Cowards gravitate to areas where there will be no resistance.
3. The tox report on the shooter will probably reveal psychotropic drugs as in nearly all of these shootings.
4.Airport terminals are death traps as all the exit doors are LOCKED and the only way out is back up the ramp. Fish in a barrel.
5. Attempted suicide by cop. Apparently? this guy had a suicide bent.
6. More proof that even the tightest of firearms restrictions simply don' work -Kalifornia.; November 5, 2013 at 8:03 AM

Just wonder where he's going to find a "gun free" place where nobody ever dies...; November 5, 2013 at 11:31 AM

There is nothing random about how we have armed ourselves to defend our rights.. there was nothing random about what brought us to this point in time.. our failures.. to acknowledge threats, to accept reality, to accept our destiny. Contrary to our enemy we learn every time they attack us for our Liberty, we learn their hearts are cold and their souls empty. There is nothing random about how we have decided to stay here and resist the incursion of our enemies. We have chosen to remain faithful to our heritage with the resolve that we may not survive. We have taken a measure of the insanity being directed at us by those who should be our brothers. They have chosen the insanity of treason. My staying is not accidental, it is as much a part of me as my family and leaving my heritage behind is not an option, eyes wide open, I remain standing.. I do so knowing the cost and I will not abandon the blood spent by others that allowed me to prosper. I willingly accept my debt of blood as part of the cost of my Liberty and the Liberty of those who come after me. The only society in the history of the world that promises the rights of the individual will be protected against all aggressors must be protected and the cost will remain high, for nothing worthy of the efforts of honorable and honest men is as cheap as the talk of those who ridicule that cost. I am staying in what may become a place of death and blood to defend that which was given to me by the blood of others and I ask that the only alter I encounter will be one of my Christian God welcoming me into his place of peace as I am a free man, my rights guaranteed by my willing refusal to accept servitude and my sacrifice, honorable and of my own free will in his name.
I am staying..

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
