In the wake of an incident in which another shooter killed three other people and himself at Fort Hood, one headline this morning trumpets: "Gun in Fort Hood shootings was purchased legally."
Implication: The laws controlling guns are so lax that any old crazy person can legally purchase a weapon to use against innocents. Surely the state must pass more laws to prevent the rest of us from doing so.
I have not had my ear tuned in to the stories behind the headlines as yet. I am confident the chorus demanding that the state further throttle our liberties is singing full-throated.
