The last few weeks in America saw black churchgoers slaughtered by a white supremacist who had no business with a gun, a cop murdered by a criminal who had no legal right to one, and more kids killed by firearms that were not properly stored.
But we haven’t seen a renewed debate on guns in Congress. One reason is the amount of money self-described “gun rights” groups are spending to elect allies who will do nothing – except promote the financial interest of the beleaguered firearms industry. |

Another Capital Gazette anti gun screed.
That's two in one day, both worthy of gracing the pages of Mother Jones.
I guess only anti-gunners should be allowed to spend money to influence firearms legislation? |

TO REMEMBER |
| As an individual, I believe, very strongly, that handguns should be banned and that there should be stringent, effective control of other firearms. However, as a judge, I know full well that the question of whether handguns can be sold is a political one, not an issue of products liability law, and that this is a matter for the legislatures, not the courts. The unconventional theories advanced in this case (and others) are totally without merit, a misuse of products liability laws. — Judge Buchmeyer, Patterson v. Gesellschaft, 1206 F.Supp. 1206, 1216 (N.D. Tex. 1985) |
