Randy Lawhon of Forney says he noticed a "very revealing" juxtaposition of items in the newspaper. One was headlined: "Man arrested after shots are fired at White House." The other was headlined: "Portability of gun permits is backed."
He says this speaks volumes about the values of our society. I'm not sure I understand what he means. Does he think that the nutcase who fired the shots at the White House had a gun license? Or does he think that if a person is determined to shoot at the White House, he'll think, "Oops! Can't do that. I don't have a license"? Or does he think that if all states recognize the licenses of other states we'll suddenly have a spate of assassination attempts? If that's not what he means, just what does he mean?
