Take hard look at state gun laws

When South Carolina lawmakers return to the Statehouse in January, they will have at least 10 gun control bills to consider. All of them deserve a serious look.

It was by coincidence that the first pre-filing day for the S.C. Legislature fell less than 24 hours after the Wednesday terrorist attack in San Bernardino, Calif., that killed 14 and wounded more than 20.

But the California attack was only the latest in a long, devastating string of tragedies that indicate the need for stricter gun laws both nationwide and here in South Carolina.

One of those tragedies hit much closer to home. Few events have so shaken South Carolinians as the murder of nine men and women at the Emanuel AME church in Charleston on June 17.

Curious, this editorial was labeled as an opinion. Considering MSM's track record of "fair & balanced" newz about guns, why did this one outfit even bother?
