DESPITE the bloodbath in Tucson last week, political experts say there is no chance Congress will enact serious gun control. Such is the power of the dark side – er, I mean the National Rifle Association. Even President Obama is silent on the issue. Given Jared Loughner’s actions (and the untold nutcases out there waiting to explode), it’s time to rethink our mental health care system. But that can’t happen as long as Republicans pursue their quixotic quest to repeal the health care law. Really, America? Is this the best we can do? At what point do we “man up” and demand that our leaders do the right thing?
