Signs that the NRA is losing
Now that they're facing Washington's first serious push for new gun violence prevention laws since the Columbine massacre, gun lobbyists are grasping at straws — as in "straw" purchases. That's the slang for someone who legally buys a firearm from...

The right's fraudulent fears
Whenever you hear about a psychic being arrested, the natural question is: Why didn't she see that coming? Conservatives who raise dire alarms about what will happen in Barack Obama's second term face a similar problem. They need him to lose so their...Tags: Missile Systems, Dmitry Medvedev, Unrest, Conflicts and War, U.S. Senate, Willis Tower

The NRA doesn't deserve my sympathy, or yours
Usually when a senator suffers a big public defeat, he slinks off to lick his wounds. He rarely retwists the arms that didn't bend his way. Colleagues don't like to be seen switching. Were they horribly mistaken the first time? Don't know what they...Tags: Michael Bloomberg, Jeff Flake, John McCain, Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck

The freedom to live in fear 24/7
"Everybody got a pistol. This must really please the NRA" — from "Gun" by Gil Scott-Heron So maybe the NRA is about to get its wish.

A rogue ex-cop who shouldn't be armed
SACRAMENTO — Here's an idea for a new gun control law: How about immediately seizing the personal arsenal of a fired cop? Dishonorably discharged soldiers, after all, aren't allowed to own firearms. Why should dishonored cops? Like booted...Tags: University of California, Davis, Misdemeanors, Mark Leno, Criminals, Trials

Rachel Patron: GOP having real trouble recognizing real world
The GOP agonistes. It's a Greek word portraying someone's agonizing journey to find themselves. Last week Rush Limbaugh said — I paraphrase — this country is conservative. More people in the United States espouse conservative...Tags: Adam Lanza, Rush Limbaugh, John McCain, Sarah Palin, Executive Branch

Stephen Goldstein: Think NRA was winner? Not so fast
The NRA has won the battle but lost the war. The best thing that happened to gun control is its defeat in Congress. Today's losers (Obama, Democrats, the 90 percent of Americans who support sane legislation) will be tomorrow's winners. Today's winners...Tags: Gabrielle Giffords, Michael Bloomberg, U.S. Senate, Mitt Romney, Elections

Thankfully, There Is No Right To Own Bombs
The Hartford CourantIn the aftermath of the Boston Marathon bombings, I was thinking how thankful we, the American people, should be that the right to bear bombs was not included in the Second Amendment. If bombs were part of the Second Amendment, the National Rifle...Tags: Boston Marathon Bombing (2013), Crime, Law and Justice, Clint Eastwood, National Rifle Association of America, Laws

Gun nuts' fantasies vs. real world tragedies

Try convincing the survivors we're safer with armed citizens
The moment that most deserves to be remembered from Sunday's thrilling Super Bowl came before the game, when Jennifer Hudson joined students from the Sandy Hook Elementary School in singing "America the Beautiful." It was a heart-rending elegy for the...Tags: Gabrielle Giffords, U.S. Secret Service, U.S. Congress, Interior Policy, Personal Weapon Control

No easy answers for gun woes
Unlike the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre in Connecticut, the horrific death of Hadiya Pendleton last week might not have been enough all by itself to spark U.S. Senate hearings on gun violence. Yet the urban teenager's tragic case is sadly far...
