In case you missed a great speech by our president last night, Move On posted it today.  You can see it by clicking on the following link.

I want to refer you to the following editorial in this morning's NYT.  It echoes my thoughts on gun control and is a sensible solution.

For those that say the genie is out of the bottle and there are so many guns out there we can never keep them out of the hands of criminals I want to refer you to a portion of this article that I found interesting.   It is in the next-to-the-last paragraph telling what Australia did to eliminate assault weapons and, therefore, reduce the number of murders.
