We have to face the fact that meaningful gun control has to be a part of homeland security.

Ports are the gaping hole in America's homeland security.

The nature of Homeland Security is that no news is good news. And no news sometimes means somebody got interdicted at the border, somebody got interdicted before they could get on an airplane, somebody was arrested providing material support to terrorism. Homeland Security means very often something you never hear about.

Overly simplistic suggestions that we ban people from entering this country, based on religion, or ban people from an entire region of the world is counterproductive. It will not work. We need to build bridges to communities, to American-Muslim communities right now, to encourage them to help us in our homeland security efforts.

It ain't gun control we need; it's sin control.

It's not a gun control problem; it's a cultural control problem.
