If the Mass Independent machine was smart, it's quickly find and groom a candidate that's closer to the Center than Brown (Kennedy?) as his opponent for the next election if Scott goes the Business as usual route.
Really very tough crowd here. This thread is amazing in its negativity.
With the alternative being some kid getting shot or shooting another kid, which would give the anti's even more fodder, why is this a bad idea? If nothing else, supplying a lock makes the parent more personally responsible for an accident and taking the heat off the gun manufacturer.
False dilemma. Millions of guns are sold without any lock. There aren't millions of kids being killed by guns.
I agree that we ought to try to minimize unnecessary child deaths as much as possible. But I don't believe the solution to that problem is by requiring dealers to sell locks with handguns.

How can a gun without a trigger lock kill someone? Supplying the lock make the parent LESS personally responsible. If the only thing keeping your child from grabbing one of your guns and shooting someone is a trigger lock, well the trigger lock is the least of your concerns.
Scott's A+ rating came from his 100% grade on his candidate questionnaire, and his voting record.
I invite all of you to print it out and take it as well, see how you do.

Wait wait wait....
How is requiring manufacturers to provide a child saftey lock make you rage?
I'd gladly pay the extra $10 dollars
...so one idiot that normally wouldn't store his gun properly thinks twice (hell, maybe even save his childs life). Grasping at straws a bit hard for my tastes.
Assuming one can get it off the gun in the first place, otherwise just chuck the whole thing at the poor misguided soul attempting to redistribute some of your wealth.But D, at least with the lock you can throw it at the burglar after running out of ammo.
It's important to understand what Scott Brown is and what he isn't, but the most important thing to remember is that he ISN'T Ted Kennedy.

Coakley beat out other Dems all attempting to vie for who was the most perfect clone of Ted Kennedy.
Scott Brown is a far superior candidate to any of those folks and will vote much more often with Conservatives than with Democrats.
It's also important that we'll have a REPRESENTATIVE in Congress who may actually read and be influenced by our correspondence with him on critical issues. Think how refreshing it will be to at least have a CHANCE of influencing how he'll vote on a key issue.
Well it shouldn't matter what he believes in. . .
his entire platform was that "it's the People's Seat" when it comes time to vote on bills, make sure that WE, THE PEOPLE contact him and tell him how we want him to vote. If he doesn't, vote him out!
Mark, Baby steps, the person you describe, a true conservative will be very difficult to get elected at this time.
The gun control issue at the national level is absolutely dead for at least until the next presidential election.
IMost laws, gun laws an otherwise, that will affect you will be made at the state level. Is there now a special election to replace brown? I hope a freedom lover replaces him.
