Low-caliber legislators are enabling high-caliber, higher-velocity gun suffering.
The GOP leaders controlling the state legislature they have gerrymandered announced opposition to measures expanding gun-buyers' background checks and temporarily removing guns from the possession of a person showing threatening signs of violence or mental instability until a judge assesses the evidence.
