Idiot.
Just when one might have thought that lunacy over gun policy in the U.S. cannot be exceeded, think again.
In the wake of the
Newtown massacre, Colorado adopted a universal background check system
and a modest restriction on the size of high-capacity magazines. This
was good news for everyone except gun sellers who don't want the sales
to felons and the insane to dry up (and those who think what for most
purchasers would be a five-minute background check is too much of an
imposition).
Since gun sellers call
the shots at the NRA, the lobbying group launched an effort to punish
Colorado legislators who stood up for public safety over gun seller
profits. Now, two thoughtful Colorado legislators have been recalled and
the NRA is crowing at having exercised its muscle once again.
Other states are trying to up the ante. Only last week, Iowa highlighted the nonsense by offering concealed carry permits to blind individuals.
