Update on Gun Control

Thursday, April 7, 2016, 10am to 11:30 in the Meeting Room (behind the fireplace)

There has been some interesting developments on the issue of Gun Control, not about another major shooting.
  • For the first time there was a TED Talk about gun control, HERE. TED represents what some very influential people are thinking about and typically avoids controversial topics.We may be near a breakthrough in gun control legislation.
  • There is also local interest in the Maryland ban on assault weapons working through the courts, combined with the Republican Senate refusing to act on Scalia's replacement on the Supreme Court. HERE is a video montage which summarizes the situation.
  • Finally, there is still some nutty stuff going on in the presidential race like THIS petition to allow open carry at the Republican convention. Or THIS Ben Carson suggestion on how to prevent school shootings.
