Well stated Sir. And as you stated later, obnoxious gun laws have done
nothing to prevent crime (albeit they may provide more counts to an
indictment) since criminals by definition do not obey laws. Neither do
terrorists care about an ADIZ... they'll just go on to other methods
and targets.

The ADIZ around Washington reminds me of my very forst experience living
in a big city... Houston, Tx. Previous I was only familiar with smaller
towns in Virginia. There I saw entire neighborhoods filled with houses
with bars on all of the windows and doors. At that point I realized that
the law-abiding people had become prisoners in their own homes... living
behind bars while the criminals roamed freely.
