Pro-gun author Nikki Goeser had a lunatic murder her husband in front of her; while serving an all too short prison term, he has been harassing her with love letters. He's now been charged with stalking, a federal offense that carries a max of five years, which I trust he will get.

Notice here. Not that I ever gave a hoot. If ATF ever gets my sympathy, it is when they must interpret a 70+ year old statute with arbitrary provisions (who cares how long a rifle's barrel is? Did even the 1930s mobsters whack each other with rifles?) to American ingenuity.

This CBS piece was nominated for that dishonor by Don Kilmer. If not the dumbest, it will certainly reach the finals.

Wyoming has the greatest gun density... with one gun per five residents? Washington DC comes in second? The answer is that they'd using number of registered NFA/Title II firearms (including those registered to law enforcement agencies) and thinking that's a measure of gun ownership.
