Roger Simon: Waiting for the good guys. Obama, guns and Newtown
Do nothing? Do nothing? Can we really be so foolish, so cowed, so helpless?
Don’t tell me gun control doesn’t work. We have never tried real gun control in this country.
Don’t tell me the Supreme Court has forbidden gun control. It has forbidden no such thing.
And don’t tell me to do nothing. Don’t tell me to keep silent while the guns bark in our classrooms and children fall shrieking to their deaths and semiautomatic rifles can be purchased at Walmart amid the pots and pans and teddy bears.
