“SAFE” GUNS? OR GUN CONTROL?

In an earlier post I noted (with some surprise) that a majority of Americans support concealed carry. That reminded me of a Pajamas Media post on the bureaucratic method of gun control: “safety” certification.

California created its own test, both to drive up the cost and because a manufacturer has to pay for the test. If the manufacturer is out of business (not implausible for some older handguns), there’s no way for that gun to be certified — and therefore, no way to sell it in California. Some of the standards were also designed rather obviously to prohibit inexpensive handguns ... [an] effort to disarm a certain class of persons who are a bit too dark for ... liberals to trust with firearms.

Guns for me, but not for thee ....
