Gun Control Rethought

I wonder if the mass murder in Tuscon was one of Sharron Angle's Second Amendment solutions?

A Right to Bear Glocks? - NYTimes.com:

"...Today, the amazing thing about the reaction to the Giffords shooting is that virtually all the discussion about how to prevent a recurrence has been focusing on improving the tone of our political discourse. That would certainly be great. But you do not hear much about the fact that Jared Loughner came to Giffords’s sweet gathering with a semiautomatic weapon that he was able to buy legally because the law restricting their sale expired in 2004 and Congress did not have the guts to face up to the National Rifle Association and extend it..."

I'm against gun control, in general, but we need to reclassify weapons and really put some stringent background checks on high volume automatic weapons. A 32 round Glock shouldn't be in the same category as a six shot revolver like the Taurus Judge.
