A clash of rights

Some of our thorniest legal and judicial challenges result from a clash of two basic rights, like the right to bear arms vs the right to be safe from murder.

Now a Missouri legislator has upped the ante, turning gun control into a clash of the right to bear arms with the right to free speech.

Rep. Mike Leara has introduced a bill in the Missouri legislature to make it a felony to introduce legislation "to further reduce an individual's right to bear arms."

This NRA fever-induced paranoia is reaching a dangerous level.   I hope the Secret Service is being extra cautious in protecting our president.
