For widespread distribution, more cutting-edge commentary from Matt Bracken, former SEAL and

author of the Enemies Foreign and Domestic trilogy, along with his most recent novel, Castigo Cay:

Dear Mr. Security Agent,

Federal, state, or local. You, the man or woman with the badge, the sworn LEO or FLEA and those

who inhabit the many law enforcement niches in between and on all sides. This essay is directed to

you, because in the end, how this turmoil about gun control turns out will depend largely upon your

decisions and actions over the coming months and years.

I sincerely wish that members of Congress—who may soon be voting on new gun control measures—

would read this essay, but I realize that’s a pipe dream, considering the impenetrable bubbles around

those exalted entities. So I’ll settle for you, Mr. (or Ms.) Security Agent, since you already gobble

up everything on the internet, and I don’t have to seek you out.

Are we at greater terrorist risk as a result of bin Laden's death?

I cover this over at my Examiner column, titled Osama's dead; are Knoxvillians now at higher terror risk?
