There have been some calls for stricter gun-control measures in the wake of the Arizona shooting, but this one might actually go somewhere: Republican Rep. Pete King from New York will introduce a bill seeking to make it illegal to carry a firearm within 1,000 feet of high-level federal officials, including members of Congress. Currently, federal law prohibits carrying a gun within 1,000 feet of a school; King wants to extend that rule to federal offices. It’s possible that the new GOP majority will still kill the bill, but it’s encouraging at least that it’s coming from one of its own members.
