Based on a handwritten legal opinion issued last week by a Judge in Winnebago County, Illinois, the state of Illinois could now allow 10-month old children who get FOID cards to keep 9mm pistols in their baby carriages as long as the holster covers the gun and the ammo clip is in a separate pouch.

Does this really make sense to some people? If the goal is “all guns, all the time,� then I guess the answer is, “yes.�

And speaking of protection for our babies… In last night’s Democratic Presidential debate, a YouTube user asked Governor Bill Richardson and Senator Joseph Biden how they would keep his “baby� safe. Here’s the question and their responses.

I was glad to hear Governor Richardson support Brady background checks for all gun sales, including those at gun shows. Senator Biden’s comments helped focus the concerns that many of us have about how easy it is for dangerous people to get dangerous weapons.

Let’s hope we see more discussion about these issues as the campaigns continue.
