2) Limiting weapons sales to one a month.
3) No guns show sales except "antiques".
4) A gun safety class that must be passed to purchase weapons.
Would a moderate who wants to feel good about "just a few more laws" think most of those are reasonable? No problems with any of them? Pass those and what would the next "few laws" be.
Me? I see a number of problems with each one.
Of course it could be that the Chicago Defender is just a right wing NRA huggin' rag out to distort Obama's position on the issue.

Pete I find it hard to believe anything coming out of Chicago is anywhere near the right, or even the center for that matter. I find many, many issues with this bill as well. The fact that BHO supported it does not surprise me, however it is a great example of why I don't trust is judgment, value system, or instincts and why there isn't a chance I will vote for him.
