"Some more moderate conservatives have criticised the Homeland Security study. They believe the White House could use it to justify tougher gun laws and restrictions on conservatives'"

"It cites an example two weeks ago when three police officers were shot dead in Pittsburgh by Richard Poplawski, who had been a member of a white supremacist group."

Maybe they wouldn't be thinking about tighter gun laws IF people were more responsible with them. If you give a passionate idiot a gun, you get things like the above.

Besides, most gun tragedies occur to the owner or someone in the owner's circle of family and freinds. Irresponsible idiots should NOT be allowed to carry guns period! It's a bit disturbing how clingy conservatives are about guns. It's almost as if they are just waiting for an excuse to use them.
