And of course, this:
WASHINGTON – An 88-year-old gunman with a virulently anti-Semitic past fatally shot a security guard inside the crowded U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum on Wednesday before being shot himself by other officers, authorities said.
Also, now is as good a time as any to discuss increased efforts at gun control. Why not?
UPDATE: Digby has an alternative suggestion to more gun control: “we should have made sure that all the tourists were well armed before they went into the museum.” Ah. Good point.
