It is sadly amusing that Cardinal Cupich (and others) think that all it takes to keep thugs and unbalanced people from causing mayhem at a church-owned property is his declaration: no guns on premises!

Why don't we apply this policy more broadly? We don't need an army, a navy, air force or marines. The President can just send a sternly worded letter to all terrorists and foreign governments (or post it online): Hey, you baddies! The United States of America is a "no attack zone" So don't even think about trying to blow up buildings, plant bombs in subways, or fire missiles at us!

Yeah, that really ought to do it. Maybe with some underlining too?
