Stress Relief

Ann Counter gives us "elected Democrats running like scared schoolgirls from the media's demand that they enact new gun control laws."
Instead, Democrats are promoting a mental health exception to the right to bear arms. We've banned mass murder and that hasn't seemed to work. So now we're going to ban mass murderers. Yes, that will do the trick!...

So on one hand, the mental health exception is a feel-good measure that would be largely pointless. But on the other hand, it's no skin off my back. Liberals go to therapy. Conservatives go to church. And I think we'd all sleep better knowing that David Brock could not buy a gun.
That's a good line, but I'd like to add that libertarians don't go to therapy or church. On Sundays we go to the range.
