The antis now claim that school shootings usually involve shotguns (see where we are going?) and a certain police commissioner claims that nobody needs a rifle or shotgun. Seeing as it is already the case that prohibited persons can't get FIDs, it is clear, by definition, that they have exposed their intentions as desiring to restrict law-abiding citizens. In any event, they made enough fuss to get the house to reject the senate's mods. Now it goes to a 6 person joint committee to get hashed out. If the compromise differs significantly from the house and senate bills then it needs to be revoted on by both. Oh, and the legislative session ends on the 31st...

Somebody tell this certain police commissioner to take up the discussion with Vice President Biden. According to Biden, everyone needs a a shotgun (and nothing else).
