The gun grabbers can’t even wait to find out what happened before chasing the Meridian, Mississippi ambulance (and hearses) for their pet anti-freedom cause.

In the wake of yet another horrible mass shooting, Congress and President Bush need no more reminders of why they should work to reauthorize and strengthen the federal ban on assault weapons. While we don’t yet know what weapon was used in this tragedy, we do know that rapid-fire assault weapons are designed for this type of terrible assault.”

I suggest that Congress also ban groups like the Brady Campaign, and the Million Mom March. After all, while it’s perhaps too early to know why many members of the public are incapable of coherent thought, and ignorant of the Constitution and the nature of firearms, such demogoguery is designed for the type of terrible assault on logic that contributes to that ongoing tragedy.
