Crosshairs Don't Kill People ...

The NYT reports on a silly piece of legislation:

Representative Bob Brady of Pennsylvania told The Caucus he plans to introduce a bill that would ban symbols like that now-infamous campaign crosshair map.

Mataconis:

There’s only thing that’s worse than heated political rhetoric, and that’s when a government official decides that they want to come along and ban it.

Nothing should be banned. But those politicians who have stoked rhetorical violence should be voted out of office or ruled out of bounds for real responsibility.
