This is one of the best gun control articles I've ever read:

And the article is even more poignant because it's written by the type of person who - based on their overall political leanings - would normally support gun control.
Here are my favorite quotes from the article:

New rule: If you don’t know how guns work, you don’t get to craft legislation about them.

[Michael Bloomberg] doesn’t know how guns operate. He doesn’t understand basic terminology. He doesn’t know what an “assault weapon” is, even though he supposedly was involved in drafting legislation. How is this possible? And how is it possible that we who actually understand the topic are supposed to cede to his judgement on it?
