Contemplating mass murder in Omaha: ""It's just a sign. They have one painted on the entrance to our local Blockbuster, and there's another on the glass front door of my doctor's office, as well. The notice usually reads 'No Firearms Permitted' or something to that effect, and is often accompanied by a graphic: the outline of a pistol or revolver superimposed by a big red European 'forbidden' symbol. As surely as a baseball cap turned around backwards, it is a sign of unadulterated stupidity at work. It might even be funny, if it weren't responsible for the sudden, violent deaths of eight innocent individuals this week at a shopping mall in Omaha, Nebraska, not to mention countless others in the recent past and many more in the future."
