Fun With Guns

First, let me say that gun control is a dead topic.

Democrats aren't touching and only the most dedicated progressives are making any noise about it. Well, and dedicate gun nuts.

Personally, I think that gun control is an important part of crime reduction. But, not nearly as important as educational and economic improvements. For everyone.

But the reactionary and downright delusional overreach on gun rights is absurd.

But, seriously, what are people thinking? Allowing guns in bars. "Stand your ground" laws that make it nearly impossible to prosecute shooters. Allowing guns in schools. Absurd.

This article from Mother Jones discusses looser restrictions, here. http://m.motherjones.com/politics/2012/09/map-gun-laws-2009-2012

Common sense just tells you that no one needs to be drinking in public with a concealed weapon. People with a history of violent crime should be screened out of gun ownership. Most felons lose their right to vote. Why not the right to bear arms?

There have been absolutely zero attempts to expand gun control over the last decade. What, exactly, are these laws reacting to?
