Guns in Space

After tripping into a constitutional gun rights controversy, the FAA has amended a rule that bans carrying guns on commercial space ships.

I guess after complaining that no one from the "authorized journalist" camp was picking up on this story, I should be grateful for this exposure, even if it is on the ABC blog as opposed to their news site, even if they didn't credit the source, and even if their attitude is borderline belittling and only marginally on point.

That whole gift horse/mouth thing always seemed counterintuitive...

This might be a good time to contact "mainstream" new providers and ask them why they thought this story wasn't important enough to call to the attention of their readers/viewers. More of my thoughts on that are here and here.
