Court's message on gun control: Keep it local

My Senator, Chris Murphy of Connecticut, in memory of the Sandy Hook elementary school massacre did a Jimmy Stewart "Mr. Smith goes to Washington" style filibuster and successfully had a vote put on some watered down gun control provisions, which were summarily defeated. Washington will not pass any sort of federal gun control legislation, its that simple. And what it has passed it actively works at sabotaging, such as requiring gun records to be maintained in paper not digital form and specifically instruct the CDC not to use funding allotted by Congress to study guns and health.  Yesterday Justices Refuse to Hear Challenge to Connecticut Ban on Semiautomatic Rifles, is a message by the court to keep it local. There is nothing stopping Connecticut to require gun records to be kept in digital form and for the State to share the data with other like minded states. Also there is nothing stopping States from forming a consortium to commission and fund the CDC's study on guns and health.
