A Reminder
By 
The House of Representatives and enough of a minority to effectively block Senate legislation oppose even modest gun control measures that even the Supreme Court’s current Second Amendment jurisprudence would seem to permit.
Incidentally, the background check bill was a reminder that the only thing worse about Maureen Dowd writing a on ostensible political column with no politics in it is Maureen Dowd trying to write about politics. President Michael Douglas showed that writing the names of senators down on cue cards would have gotten the bill through! But Obama Didn’t. Even. Etc.
