Hillary's Presidential Gun Summit; Chuck's School Safety Guidelines; More On Obama And Gun Control

She killed a duck once, so now presidential candidate Hillary Clinton wants a presidential summit on gun control.

And Sen. Chuck Schumer, also of New York, will push for national school-safety guidelines (no one knows what it means, but it was enough to get his name in the paper). He plans to announce his backing for the creation of a joint Department of Education and Justice Department task force to create the guidelines.

Translation: We're from the government and we're here to help you.

Even better, David Bernstein at the Volokh Conspiracy has taken a good, long look at Sen. Obama's record on guns and found some interesting information from 1999 (especially considering he now says he is in favor of gun ownership with reasonable (there's that word again) restrictions.
