Thomasson: Iowa gun proposal screams ignorance

[quote][/qIf anyone needs more evidence of the accuracy of Rogers’ troubling analysis of democracy, they only need to look at what the Iowa House of Representatives did the other day. They passed and sent a bill to the state Senate that makes it legal for children younger than the age of 14 to handle a pistol and ammunition as long as they were being supervised by a parent or another person. Hopefully that precludes one of the many homicidal maniacs shooting up the American landscape under the watchful eyes of constitutionalists. But I wouldn’t bet on it.[quote]

It's not the LAWS you necessarily have to worry about, it's how the laws are regulated.
