In the "Why am I Not Surprised?" Department: Clinton targets assault weapons. "US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton says she'll be arguing for tougher gun controls as part of efforts to help Mexico fight violent drugs cartels."

Giving up our First Amendment rights, in order to stop libel and slander in Canada? (They might use American-made typewriters and bullhorns, dontcha-know...) OBTW, here is the none-too-subtle spin on this invented topic, from CBS. (BTW, I used to call CBS the "Rather Biased network." Dan Rather is gone, but the bias is obviously still there.)
