Target Practice

A media gun show.

IF the public is outraged about loose gun laws after the Littleton massacre, politicians outside Washington haven’t heard the news. Sure, the California assembly restricted gun purchases to one a month within 48 hours of the killings (which were planned for at least a year and involved four guns, but never mind). And efforts to crack down on gun shows in Oregon have accelerated. But most of the action in the states has been pro-gun.
