More effective gun control is expected to be a tough issue to tackle, even as family members and political leaders decry this week's on-air killing of two journalists.
"We've got to keep crazy people from getting guns," said Andy Parker, father of reporter Alison Parker who was shot to death Wednesday with cameraman Adam Ward. Parker spoke to reporters outside WDBJ-TV after a visit with the station's staff and victims' families by Virginia's Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe.
WDBJ's General Manager, Jeff Marks, said he also urged action on the issue from Rep. Bob Goodlatte, the Republican chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, who represents Roanoke. |

More calls for "common sense" gun controls.
Except that the controls are anything except common sense, and only serve to inconvenience the law abiding citizen.
Criminals don't obey the law and get their guns illegally so they won't even be slowed down by more gun control laws. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Those, who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people. — Aristotle, as quoted by John Trenchard and Water Moyle, An Argument Shewing, That a Standing Army Is Inconsistent with a Free Government, and Absolutely Destructive to the Constitution of the English Monarchy [London, 1697]. |
