in short the house of representatives signed off. now it goes to the senate and then to nobama.
I especially like this part of the first article
While incidents of shocking gun violence still occur regularly, the overall statistics point to a marked decrease in gun-related violence throughout the United States. One notable exception is the District of Columbia, which peaked at the No. 1 position for 2010 at 16 firearms murders per 100,000 people. You'll recall that D.C. absolutely prohibits the carrying of firearms outside the home. Obviously that law isn't working out for D.C., and the rest of the nation is beginning to wake up to the myth that restrictive gun control laws reduce crime. It is the other way around.
