New Gun Control Debate in Congress Unlikely

Anti-gun advocated want to take advantasge of emotional responsess

 It's now been one week since a gunman shot and killed 12 people at the Washington Navy Yard.

President Obama once again called for stricter gun laws during a memorial service Sunday for the victims.

This tragedy is renewing the debate about gun control.

We're hearing the same arguments about guns made just nine months ago after the Newtown, Conn. shooting, but this time, Congress appears less likely to act on the issue.

We have gun laws on the books, some agree some don't agree with them, but the point is enforcement. The analogy I use is the same as the person who at 6p.m. goes out for a few drinks, eludes detection that he or she may have had too many, and either kills or injures innocent people. There are laws on the books. The conversation is, expansion of what is current law on the books to detect and prevent.

Gun control means be able to hit your target.
