With Guns Act Locally

Its counterproductive to look to Washington on every issue other than foreign policy and defense, particularly guns.  If after Sandy Hook Connecticut elected to have a comprehensive gun training and licensing program similar to what we have for automobiles as a method of keeping track of "People who, when you think back, seemed off. Didn’t dress right. Kept to themselves. Were nursing a bitterness that smoldered inside of them.  And then they picked up guns and went out and killed as many as they could."  Then do it.  In retrospect it was unfortunate that Obama flew Sandy Hook's grieving parents to Washington on Air Force One in a federal show rather than to have encouraged them to lobby Connecticut's legislature for a local solution.
