This is not the USA, no matter how much the NRA would like it to be.

While I wish this wasn't happening in Pakistan either, there is no place for military style weapons in the USA. There is no reason to have them. There is no purpose for an AK-47 among the people of the USA. It makes NO SENSE for our society to have succumbed to the violence issued by Osama bin Laden.

I find it encouraging there was at least a peace committee with members in Pakistan. That is a real way forward, but, here again, the ISI is failing that peace committee if it's members are targets.

But, this is not the USA. It is uniquely Pakistan, even it would seem in their agricultural areas. In believing weapons belong on the street only invites violence. Where there is no purpose for a gun in USA society, evidently there are those that believe they should find a purpose.
