News from The Sight M1911, Volume 249

Our prayers and deepest sympathy go out to the families and friends of the Virginia Tech victims.
As you can well imagine, there have been thousands of articles done on gun control this week, and it would be impossible to list them all. Rather than trying to list them all, I have selected a number of the better pieces on self defense and gun-free zones. Also, I’m embarking on a new enterprise, the audio podcast, which I hope to produce on a more-or-less regular basis. It will be an adjunct to but not a replacement for “the news.” The first installment is listed under “Gun Control in the Wake of Virginia Tech.”
