Gun Control - Round Two

Yesterday I was catching up to two weeks worth of The Daily Show, and caught this good interview with Bob Schieffer of CBS News. The conversation started with Bob recalling his personal history of covering inaugurations, and then they were talking about gun control.

It was a good interview, he was more frank with his personal opinion than I would have expected from a newsman, but they were both approaching it from a very rational angle. Jon Stewart brought up a question that I have had for the last month; which is what law enforcement feels about gun control. Based on the fact that police departments have gun buy-back programs more and more, I would assume that they would support it. It's not uncommon anymore for criminals to have automatic weapons that the police can't compete with.

Seattle just had a gun buy-back yesterday and the turnout was so huge they had to turn people away. But the really ridiculous thing I saw that came out of it is that someone brought in a bazooka! This world is insane.
