The Idiots Against Guns in the media and Congress overdid it this time. Not wanting to miss a chance to politicize a shooting tragedy, the anti-gun nuts went berserk: Mondaywhen news broke that a man had gone on a rampage at a D.C. naval base and killed 12 people.

For California’s illegal immigrants, September is off to a rewarding start. On September 4, in a shocking vote to undermine safety and to erode federal immigration law enforcement, the California Assembly passed AB 4, the so-called TRUST Act.
