This nice piece of twisted logic was posted on another forum, I kind of like it, as it indirectly addresses our 2nd Amendment attacks.

So it seems that we have been struck by radicalized islamists once again (Boston Marathon bombing in case you forgot) and people are wondering what to do about the seemingly never ending threat of terrorism from these people. Fortunately the gun control crowd has offered us a solution.
Muslims, we need you to go down to city hall and register your faith with the government and submit to a background check which we are going to need you to pay for. I know that 99.99 percent of you are law abiding, America loving, God fearing people, but because a handful of you have a propensity for violence; we’re going to need all of you to give up just a little of your religious freedom.
I know what you’re thinking and your right, this country was founded on religious freedom, but the founders couldn't possibly have conceived of the kinds of things we are dealing with today. There was no such thing as a weapon of mass destruction in 1776, and wars were fought primarily by people in blue or red uniforms standing in a line shooting at each other across a field. So we can’t count on the judgment of a bunch of “old white guys” two hundred and some years ago to know what’s good for us today right?
No one is telling you not to practice your religion, what this is about is making the rest of us, who don’t understand the way you exercise your constitutional freedoms feel safer, never mind the complete lack of efficacy these changes will actually have on preventing violence in the future, you guys surely understand that our feelings trump your freedom right?
Anyhow, thanks for understanding, and enjoy your ride on the slippery slope with the rest of us."
