This would have stopped that lunatic gunman for sure!

If only this had been the law already!
“Rep. Peter King, a Republican from New York, is planning to introduce legislation that would make it illegal to bring a gun within 1,000 feet of a government official, according to a person familiar with the congressman’s intentions.”
And: bam!* Political vitriol nullified! Who knew it would be so easy?
Via Memeorandum.
Also, Althouse says:
Because the murder-free-zone law that protects the rest of us is just not working well enough. The high officials need a double layer of legal protection.
And one more thing: is the word “vitriol” losing all meaning for anybody else? Or just me?
* Note: that’s “bam,” not “bang.” Don’t even go there.
Vitriol used to be a perfectly good word when used in moderation. It has been sadly abused and overused of late.
There are a lot of words that don’t mean diddly anymore. Use to be a pretty useful language….now? Pfft!
