Former State Senator Scott Brown's big idea to prevent future gun violence is to leave the notion of an assault weapon's ban up to the individual states.
So....lets try a little thought experiment, suppose New Hampshire decided that public safety was best served by allowing assault weapons to be sold thru vending machines in their public high schools....
What good would be a ban on assault weapons in Massachusetts...Save only as a specific potential punishment handed down by a judge?
Such a ban would be useless...unless of course we set up border checkpoints or something.
But then sheer uselessness constitutes almost all of Scott Brown's thinking as a general rule.
Scott wants to leave the assault weapons ban up to the already battered and cash strapped states, woe betide the man who wants to hand his National Guard pension over to the Commonwealth's treasury, that would ellicit a blast they could hear in Colorado no doubt.
