Dave Hardy has an interesting story regarding the gun control/gun rights trends over the last few decades. I think he minimizes a few of the recent bad things, but also doesn’t directly touch on the good over the last few years: Katrina legislation, Castle doctrine, CCW, etc. I do find it funny that the two main democrat candidates are at least minimizing their anti-gun stands, and in some cases posturing as pro-gun, despite having all of one pro-gun vote between them.
