Great moments in gun control, law, and journalism

Apparently, the new gun control law in New York state, which does not allow any magazine that holds more than seven rounds, does not have an exemption for law enforcement.

Round yourselves up, boys, and get back out there without your guns!

Seriously, I can hardly think of a better example of how gun control advocates are motivated not by logic and evidence, but by emotions. 

In other news, a Minnesota lawyer has been "working" to demonstrate what a lot of us had suspected all along; that "lawyer" often is simply a highfalutin' name for "prostitute."  How so?

The moron billed his client, a woman seeking a divorce, for time he spent having sex with her.  Other suspicions you might have about the legal profession are verified by his previous probation for purchasing and using cocaine, and other suspicions you might have about my fair state being soft on crime are verified by the fact that despite a string of citations for "lack of decorum", a probation, and a full suspension, this guy has not been disbarred.

Finally, some thoughts on the saga of the Notre Dame player who used the death of his imaginary girlfriend as a "point of interest" in his attempt to win the Heisman Trophy; did no sports journalist out there have the basic curiosity to see if he could Google the girl's obituary--and possibly get a wonderful human interest story if the young lady had actually existed?

On the other hand, the thought of this young man indulging in what turned out to be homosexual Mormon love notes for months over Twitter is simultaneously creepy and hilarious.
