Gun control is a way for Democrats to pretend that they care about crime.
In the 1936 movie “Libeled Lady,” Spencer Tracy plays a hard-boiled newspaper editor working on a generic story. His assistant asks, “What’ll we use as a headline?” Tracy growls: “I don’t care. Anything. ‘War threatens Europe!’” The assistant asks: “Which country?” Tracy answers: “Flip a nickel.”
Today’s generic headlines read: “Democrat demands stricter gun control.” Which Democrat? Flip a coin. What type of control? Spin the wheel and see where it lands.
The shootings at a Catholic school in Minneapolis, the debate over federal intervention to counter Chicago’s crime crisis and the murder of conservative icon Charlie Kirk have elicited the predictable calls for more gun control.
