re:"Why no similar squawking from you over the federal government's "suspension" of certain civil liberties following 9-11?"

Because even though this current "war", may last for many years, someday it will end. And when it is over, "suspended" rights, can be returned. Many rights were "suspended" during WWII, during a Democratic Administration (they were returned eventually after the war ended).

re:"I think in the future we'll see, for defense purposes, a move away from guns that fire bullets in favor of non-fatal stun guns and the like."

Maybe you are right, but time will tell.
