Feel safer?

Politics Daily:

Yes, this was just another week in the gun culture wars. An Alabama professor with a long history of public outbursts and involvement with guns, a bomb -- even killing her brother with a shotgun many years ago -- is charged in a mass shootingon campus. Three fellow academics died and three others were wounded.

Half a nation away, the Virginia House of Delegates (my home state's legislature, regrettably) weakens a lengthy list of gun control laws, including the state's unconscionable, 17-year-long prohibition on the freedom to purchase more than one handgun per month.

A gun a month?


Well, never mind. After all, South Carolina has a tax holiday for gun purchases.


And Monday, the federal government will allow drunken campers in national parks to carry guns. So don't you be complaining about that boombox over in Space 43.
