Like perhaps the majority of clear-thinking Americans, we cats are sick and tired of the National Rifle Association and others on the right who freak out at the slightest suggestion of gun control (or semiautomatic weapon control or cop-killer bullet control or bullet-proof vest control). In their eyes, yesterday Adam Lanza was simply exercising his sacred Second Amendment rights.
So we cats have a proposal: Let's take a page from Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas and the other strict constructionists lurking among us. Let's protect only those weapons that Americans used when the U.S. Constitution was written in 1787.
That's it. The Second Amendment stands. Gun rights are preserved. But no Glock pistols, no AK-47s, no Sig Sauer handguns, no Bushmaster .223 M4 carbines. No little kids and U.S. Congresswomen and midnight movie fans and Sikh worshipers getting mowed down for no reason at all.
Works for us.
