Bang, Bang

Yesterday Gov. Brown signed into law six gun-control bills and vetoed five others. Marc Levine, a member of the state assembly, said that “military assault weapons have no place on our streets.”  I’m uncertain how to define “military assault weapons” but I understand that long guns (rifles and such) account for 3% of all deaths by firearms in the United States. Reducing gun deaths even a little is worthwhile. Meanwhile 97% of gun deaths are associated with handguns. Bang, bang.
