NRA, stopped
: The good news is, the NRA was defeated today. Says StopTheNRA.com: “It’s the most historic day for gun safety policy in the ten years since Congress passed the landmark Brady Bill.” The bad news is that the NRA — telling its puppet lawmakers what to do — defeated its own bill meant to protect gun makers because it included amendments to extend the assault weapons ban and the gun-show loophole and now those two important protections are also gone. So come September, you can return to your neighborhood assault weapons store. The real loser is yet to be namad. That will be the needless victim of that murder weapon yet to be bought and fired.
: Kerry and Edwards voted for the assault ban. It’s getting easier and easier to vote for Kerry.
: Glenn Reynolds links to a different perspective, natch.
