The Christian Science Monitor is reporting that bloggers outnumbered national reporters by a good margin in the NRA Annual Meetings press box last weekend in Phoenix.

Newsday reported recently that New York Representatives Carolyn McCarthy, Steve Israel, and Carolyn Maloney, all Democrats, called a press conference to promote a new bill aimed at law-abiding gun owners. McCarthy's "No fly no buy Act" would prohibit anyone who is on the "no fly" list from purchasing firearms.

The bill seems to be a political tool, rather than a serious attempt to fix any problem. Sadly that seems to be the normal mode of operation in D.C. these days.
