The Other Badness in the Bill

From Joe Merchant:

One of the local TV stations did a story on upcoming gun bill hearing. In the story, they misreported some info (I know, shocking). I've seen this bad info popping up on gun blogs, and have tried to fix it.

Here's the skinny: This law is all kinds of bad, but part of the minor stuff is that it requires all retail gun dealers to provide trigger locks. KMTV reported that it mandated the USE of trigger locks.

The problem is it's not part of the bill and diverts needed attention from the real threat...The GunViolence Commission. Take a look at

and see if you can help me spread the word that we need to drop the fuss over trigger locks and focus instead on the other badness in this bill.
