Constitutional Law

Interesting aspect to the media

Encountered an article in which the author says that the country "according to anti-arms campaigners, has one of the greatest per capita rates of gun ownership in the world." Alongside a cartoon of a fellow reaching for the two guns in his belt, the author notes:

"How many more wake up calls do we need until law makers realise that some new, strict gun control laws need to be passed? What about a limit on the number of guns a person can have, say, two? What about more detailed background checks?" He calls for an assault weapon ban, and ends with:

"As everyone realises, we are no longer the pioneer society we were when gun laws were first instituted in this country. I do not understand why legislators do not get it, gun control laws are extremely out of date."

So what's unusual about this article? Click on extended remarks to see.
