GOP gunslinging in D.C.

GOP gunslinging in D.C. - Yahoo! News: "Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (news, bio, voting record) feels sorry for us here in the District of Columbia. She's seen our crime-plagued streets, she feels our pain, and she's decided she has an answer for us. She wants to eliminate the majority of our gun laws.

What inspired the plucky Texan to decide to suddenly stand up for all of us? It probably wasn't the mayor or the police commissioner or the school superintendent, who all announced they oppose her idea. And the decline in the city's homicide rate didn't suggest a drastic need for change.

No, in the end, she says, she introduced the 'D.C. Personal Protection Act of 2005,' because of her 'constitutional responsibility to oversee the District of Columbia,' she said at a news conference to announce the legislation."
