John over at No Lawyers only Guns and Money found this great video of Emily Miller
That is how you conduct an interview! I especially liked how she deflected the “Common Sense” law part with pointing out that all the other states don’t seem to have a problem with this.
A lot of laws sound great, but they either do nothing to stop the problem they proclaim, or are addressing a problem that doesn’t exist. Gun control laws span both.
I tell people, back when I lived in Maine I liked guns, and thought it was nice to roll back stupid laws…Buying my first gun in Massachusetts turned me into an activist. Seems Emily has the same bee in her bonnet. I’m glad we have sharp ladies like her!
D.C.’s gun laws are a perfect illustration of what’s wrong with gun control: Good citizens have to fight their way through paperwork and requirements, while criminals just hand over some cash and get their guns. Fortunately, we have people who keep chipping away at these silly laws.
Sure, we should have mandatory gun safety courses … they should be mandatory for grade school kids in public schools, along with basic marksmanship classes.
Here’s a good idea: Make firearms training contingent on good behavior. That would go a long way toward solving the discipline problems in public schools. Detention counts for nothing, but missing out on shooting practice hurts. That, and requiring the boys to wear pink underwear, so as to keep their pants up.
