The NRA's big guns: Meet the 10 biggest obstacles to gun reform legislation
- - - - - - - - - - - -

August 12, 1999 | WASHINGTON -- Poll after poll indicates that most Americans
-- including most gun owners -- agree with Janet Reno about one thing. "It is
common sense, pure common sense, to ensure that guns are only in the hands of
those who know how to safely and lawfully use them and have the capacity
and the willingness to do so," the attorney general said after the recent
shooting at a Los Angeles-area Jewish day-care center.
But judging by their foot-dragging on new gun-control measures, our
representatives in Washington seem to think that they represent a slice of
America consisting entirely of Charlton Heston's bungalow.
That Congress continues to slay any and every gun law -- no matter how
popular, incidental or seemingly reasonable -- is a tribute to the gun industry's
powerhouse of a lobby, the National Rifle Association.
