One thing that the events like the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, the 9/11 hijackings, the Aurora theater shooting, and this most recent act of violence all have in common is the fear factor. The very randomness of these attacks makes them even more terrifying. You think that sending your child off to school, going to the movies, traveling by air to go visit family, going to work in a high-rise, or watching a race would be the most harmless of activities. Everyone does these things. These are not the types of risky behaviours that are fueled by vast quantities of alcohol. No one was behaving recklessly by going to watch Batman. Brutal acts of violence occurred during these ordinary activities, and this says, by sheer normalcy, that this could happen to you too.

And this is when the government steps in with something like a new gun control law or, after 9/11, the Patriot Act, all presented in a way to make us feel safer. But what is actually happening is a chiseling away of your God-given rights, all in the name of security and safety. People actually plead for their rights to be taken away. Who can forget NYC Mayor Bloombergs offensive Demand a Plan video response to the Sandy Hook shootings? "
