More tea party stunts

A good editorial from the Courier-Journal:

Let’s consider the proposed antics of (Rand) Paul and his tea party compatriots.

Here is what they want to filibuster.

The gun violence bill would eliminate the “gun show loophole” by requiring background checks for all firearms sales, not just guns bought from firearms dealers now required by law. Even the National Rifle Association once offered to support this extremely reasonable idea before the association became so extreme it refuses any additional safety measures whatsoever.

...Someone needs to bring reason to this discussion — not another pointless filibuster.
