It took until today, but here's the dumbest idea yet in light of the shooting this
Saturday.Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.), one of the few pro-gun control Republicans in the House, wants to make it illegal for someone to knowingly carry a gun within 1,000 feet of certain high-ranking federal officials, including members of Congress.
I'm sure this would discourage anyone from shooting a public official. Federal murder charges and a death penalty isn't getting the job done, so let's make it illegal to carry a gun. Makes perfect sense.
