A few days ago, a self-professed “gun nut” published “A Gun Nut’s Guide to Gun Control That Works,” proposing a grand gun control compromise that is supposed to be effective and make us safer. I have no doubt that Jon Stokes meant well when he wrote this piece, advocating a federally issued license for simple possession of all semi-automatic firearms, just as I’m sure that many well-meaning liberals just want to see a decline in violent crime when they whine that we need to implement “common sense” gun control measures to keep guns out of the wrong hands (read: your hands).
