I'm a little bit surprised it hasn't already begun. If the RATS were in decisive control, the confiscations would have already started. But give the antis a teeeeny bit of credit for remembering recent history and the overwhelming reaction to Katrina and the actions taken by local government in response to "events of random violence." Nagin's (well okay it was his Chief of Police) actions resulted in backlash legislation that swept the nation.
THIS is the power of a resurgent NRA! If you'll remember back to the horror days of Bill Clinton, the result of the Oklahoma BOMBING resulted in RATS crys for more gun control legislation. But for the RATS it's always a matter of timing...not decision.
A columnist for the Philly Daily News is already engaging in such (there is already a movement for gun control laws because of the violence level in Philly).
John Baer | Can they dismiss this one?
AS LAWMAKERS meet in the Capitol today for Day 3 of an unusual session on violent crime, perhaps yesterday's schoolhouse slaughter in nearby Lancaster County will help make deliberations a little more serious.
