Gail Collins on Guns and Gun Laws

Ms. Collins explores why the shootings in Tucson have led many legislators to the idea that there are simply not enough guns in public places.

The nation’s state legislators seem to be troubled by a shortage of things they can do to make the National Rifle Association happy. Once you’ve voted to allow people to carry guns into bars (Georgia), eliminated the need for getting a permit to carry a concealed weapon (Arizona) and designated your own official state gun (Utah — awaiting the governor’s signature), it gets hard to come up with new ideas.
