About gun control, OR
Quote for the day

The gunman, whom authorities have identified as James T. Hodgkinson, 66, from Belleville, Ill., a suburb of St. Louis, obviously should not have been allowed to possess an automatic rifle given his checkered history of violence, including misuse of firearms and violence against women. Nonetheless, Hodgkinson reportedly had acquired and owned the weapons involved legally. So who has championed unrestricted gun ownership? Congressional Republicans, of course. Today, they got a taste of the results of their self-prostitution to gun manufacturers.

Michael Hamar

Michael is more stringent in his hostility to firearms than I am — Disclosure: These premises are armed. — but I had a very similar thought within minutes of learning of yesterday morning’s awful shooting: Will that pack of whores be ready to talk about reasonable gun control NOW?

Perhaps so. Congress canceled a hearing on ownership of silencers that was scheduled for today.
