Good gravy. They still don't get it. First it was moral issues. Then it was gay marriage. Now it's guns.
The '06 and '08 elections are shaping up just fine.

Wouldn't it be much easier to make word processors "media proof"?

The NYT shows its ignorance (again) by printing a bunch of stupid suggestions that were old 20 years ago.

The left is right.They didnt get their message out.They need to keep preaching on gay marriage,more gun laws ,how the military is bad,raising taxes on the rich ,christians are idiots,Then only then will they win.I'm trying to give them good red state advice. Dont forget to knock Nascar fans that will really go a long ways,You will be sure to pick lots of votes!

Actually he DOES get it--it's his solution that's all wrong. Don't get me wrong, I'm not advocating his position at all. But he is doing for guns what would be the equivalent of Pro-Lifers throwing in the towel. He's saying the Dems are perceived as having all the wrong answers and can't just SAY things differently or shoot a couple of geese. They have to start changing.
I completely disagree with his position and his answers, but this is the one Dem I've read recently who is saying "We have to change or our party will die." Fortunately, no one will listen, and those who listen will, as he does, come up with the wrong answers.

This is the same f'head who lied about guns in Michigan.
but to use a public health approach to try to make them much safer.
This shows his true colors right there. "Guns are a disease" according to the public health fascists(and that's exactly what the public health lobby is).
"You can tell whether a camera is loaded by looking at it, and you should be able to tell whether a gun is loaded by looking at it,"
Guns are always loaded, dummy. They must let anyone into Harvard nowadays.
Require magazine safeties so a gun cannot be fired when the clip is removed (people can forget that a bullet may still be in the chamber and pull the trigger). Many guns already have magazine safeties, but not all.
One of the first training rules is remembering that in semiautos, there's one in the chamber.
This innovation would protect children - and thwart criminals.
Will the cops use smart guns?
This guy needs to get bitchslapped again in 2006

So what's wrong with these ideas?
Guns could and should be made safer.
Although attempts to ban older "unsafe" guns should be resisted, I see no reason why we should knee-jerk reject the very idea of making guns safer.

Not only that, but if you drop a magazine in combat, the one in the chamber can save your ass.

I like the idea of gun safety classes in every school a lot more. I hope the nee AG gets very aggressive in restoring 2nd amendment rights for every person in the union. I noticed he is from TX. I hope that is a good sign.
