NY Times Editorial: An Assault on Everyone's Safety

The Glock 19 is a semiautomatic pistol so reliable that it is used by thousands of law enforcement agencies around the world, including the New York Police Department, to protect the police and the public. On Saturday, in Tucson, it became an instrument of carnage for two preventable reasons: It had an oversize ammunition clip that was once restricted by federal law and still should be; and it was fired by a disturbed man who should never have been able to purchase it legally.

The ludicrously thin membrane that now passes for gun control in this country almost certainly made the Tucson tragedy worse. Members of Congress are legitimately concerned about their own safety now, but they should be no less worried about the effect of their inaction on the safety of all Americans.

I'm not going to read that article. I'm having a good morning. I don't want to ruin it.

Maybe Arizona should start enforcing the laws they have on the books.

Wow, ironic isn't it? :shock:

I must really be bored this morning, since I read both it and the comments! I sure hope that sane comments are being blocked, because there seems to be a grand lack of them!

What's to worry about? This is going no where anyway. Right?

If you just read the few, selected comments, that is true. But when you read them all, the first four all took shots at the premise of the article. You don't think they have an agenda? Do you? :roll:

He's running in Chicago, where gun laws can't get much more restrictive.

So, why not just get them a membership at Anytime Fitness and let them exercise on their own time?
