Robert Samuelson joins the tsk-tskers.

What is it with Americans and their homes?

What is it about being around the Ruling Class that gets everybody’s undies in a wad?

Read it. Yeah, banning handgun ownership tends to do that — in the classic phrase, “When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns.” A bit of common sense that most of the Ruling Class refuse to acknowledge.

Read it. If there isn’t anything to hide, why are they so determined to hide it?
