Let the two minutes of hate against Peter King (and Cliff May) begin

Cliff May understands NRO readers very poorly (check out the comments):

Sane and reasonable people agree that political battles should be fought with ideas, principles, and words — not guns, bullets, and bombs. But in a nation of more than 300 million, it must be expected that at least a small minority will be neither sane nor reasonable.

With that in mind, Peter King, the new chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, and NYC mayor Michael Bloomberg this morning proposed federal legislation that would prevent people from knowingly bringing guns within 1,000 feet of an event at which members of Congress and federal judges are appearing...

This seems pretty commonsensical. It does not, in my view, compromise the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens. Even in the old West, cowboys hung up their guns when they entered a saloon.

Such a law will not be a panacea. ... But if this can provide even a small measure of additional protection for public servants who are too often too vulnerable, it’s worth considering.

Peter King is against gun control, until he thinks someone might try to use a gun against him.
