Eugene Kane On Guns: Must Read

Eugene Kane explains why Wisconsin needs tougher controls on handguns to get illegal firearms off the streets.

The gun lobby will again stop any progress on this sort of legislation because it has sway in the GOP-controlled State Assembly.

And that's too bad, because handguns find their way into criminal hands through a variety of methods, some of which could be stemmed by better laws.

Side note: New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has put himself in the gun lobby's cross hairs with a very strong pro-urban, anti-gun stand.
