It didn't take them long. Last Friday, on the way home from work, NPR had EJ Dionne calling for gun control. He must carry his blood-dancing shoes with him at all times, to be able to start the Casualty Can-Can on such short notice.
So, lacking any new ideas in gun control circles, we can count on them to trot out the same old crap. With that in mind, let's look at Connecticut's gun control laws, courtesy of those paragons of freedom, the Brady Bunch (no link for them, fuck 'em).
- It scores 58 0ut of 100 points Only New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts and California scored higher
- It requires background checks on long guns at gun shows
- It requires a state permit to purchase handguns
- It requires trigger locks be sold with all guns.
- It bans "assault weapons" with 2 or more "assault features"*
All this, and he-who-shall-not-be-named still managed to bring the crazy.
We definitely need to have a conversation, but not about gun control.
*I made that up, but it's accurate :-).

Danse Macabre was mine, (borrowed from an actual classical song) but now I get to add goreography and Casualty Can-Can. Kewl!
Glad to help!
