Aggressively Uninformed

The Senate recently narrowly defeated a gun law amendment that would have allowed concealed-carry permits to be valid in any location, regardless of where they were issued, effectively gutting state and local gun laws. First of all, federalism in gun laws is really the only sensible position for a country that contains both Montana and New York City. Second, and more subversive: if I were a Senator, I would call in every political favor I had to amend the bill to cover both gun permits and gay marriages, and then watch the most satisfying Republican squirm-fest in history.
