The story of Trinity Gay is a good example of 'let no (gun) tragedy go unexploited.' Had she been killed by a truck, the driver would have been blamed, but having been shot for being in the right place at the wrong time, the gun is at fault.

"Under Senator Thomas' legislation, urban-county governments and consolidated local governments, such as Lexington and Louisville, would be granted the ability to regulate firearms by ordinance. They also would be able to regulate the manufacture, sale, purchase, taxation, transfer, ownership, possession, carrying, storage, and transportation of firearms, firearms components, ammunition, and ammunition components, as long as it does not conflict with the U.S. Constitution."

Yes it is an attempt to circumvent state preemption, no it won't likely go anywhere, yes it consolidates the legislator's position as an anti-poster boy. So run someone against him. If
Eric Cantor can be defeated, so can this legis-critter be replaced with someone who understands the problem.
