Pro-Gun Laws Gain Ground

President Obama “made another push Wednesday to build support for gun-control laws in the wake of December’s mass school shooting in Connecticut. But since then, states have passed more measures expanding rather than restricting the right to carry firearms,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“Arkansas eliminated prohibitions on carrying firearms in churches and on college campuses. South Dakota authorized school boards to arm teachers. Tennessee passed a law allowing workers to bring guns to work and store them in their vehicles, even if their employer objects. Kentucky shortened the process for obtaining licenses to carry a concealed gun.”

However, the Hartford Courant reports Connecticut passed last night the most restrictive gun law in the nation.
