This article in Time today echos several others I’ve seen recently:
Ten Years After Columbine, It’s Easier to Bear Arms
…
In the decade since, massacres perpetrated by deranged gunmen have continued – including the 2007 Virginia Tech massacre in which Cho Seung-Hui killed 32 people and wounded many others. But something odd has occurred. Whatever momentum the [...]
There’s been quite a run on guns and ammo recently. Just this weekend, I went to Wal-Mart to pick up some Winchester whitebox ammo (9mm and .45), and they were completely sold out of all common calibers! Hope and Change!
Apparently, the Hope and Change has even reached the Civilian Marksmanship Program:

Normally, we average receiving [...]
It didn’t take long for the new administration to start pushing more gun control. This time, they are trying to blame scary “assault weapons” for the violence we’ve seen in Mexico:
Mexican government officials have complained that the availability of sophisticated guns from the United States have emboldened drug traffickers to fight over access routes into [...]
I spotted this story today:
DENVER – A gun belonging to the pilot of a US Airways plane went off as the aircraft was on approach to land in North Carolina over the weekend, the first time a weapon issued under a federal program to arm pilots was fired, authorities said Monday.

Out of North Carolina comes this example of extreme stupidity:
ELIZABETH CITY, N.C. — Elizabeth City State University is offering counseling to faculty and students after some became unknowing participants in an emergency response drill.
The News & Observer of Raleigh reported in Wednesday’s editions that an armed man burst into a classroom Friday, threatening [...]
Can something be so brilliant, and so wrong, at the same time? Yes.
Behold: the Hello Kitty AR-15. It’s even California-legal! I’m not sure what else to say…
The loser kid who shot up a mall in Omaha yesterday did so with an SKS rifle. Many of the press reports I’m seeing today are referring to this as an “assault rifle”. Repeat after me:
The SKS is not an assault rifle.
The SKS is not an assault rifle.
The SKS is not an assault rifle.
The SKS [...]
Putting up a “No Firearms Allowed” sign at the mall entrance doesn’t stop everyone from bringing guns inside — it only stops the law-abiding ones. Those law-abiding people are then left at the mercy of those who ignore the sign. This is so simple, so common-sense, yet the irony is that the left will use [...]

…you clean it up. At gun-point!
MONTGOMERY, Ala. – A burglar in Montgomery chose the wrong family to mess with, literally. Adrian and Tiffany McKinnon returned home on Tuesday after a week away to find that thieves had emptied almost everything the family of five owned, Tiffany McKinnon said through tears.
