• One of the worst gun control dunces in the House of Representatives -- the same leftist responsible for introducing assault weapons ban legislation -- has thrown his name in the Illinois Senate hat for Barack Obama's old seat.  Yes, I'm talking about Mark Kirk.

• And did you hear about the recent serial killer in South Carolina?  Thanks to the hard work of the local police, this killer poses no more threats to his community.  But this incident, which developed over just a few days, brings up a serious concern: waiting periods.  In some states, you have to wait as long as 5 days to purchase a handgun -- all while a serial killer is on the loose?!  Good one.  Click here to read Luke's commentary and join the conversation.
