  1. The NRA doesn't deserve my sympathy, or yours

    Usually when a senator suffers a big public defeat, he slinks off to lick his wounds. He rarely retwists the arms that didn't bend his way. Colleagues don't like to be seen switching. Were they horribly mistaken the first time? Don't know what they...

  2. Stands against the majority opinion

    A statewide poll shows that Joe Donnelly and Dan Coats, Indiana's U.S. senators, took stands opposed by a majority of their Hoosier constituents -- one on gay marriage, the other on background checks for gun purchases.

  3. How a bill becomes slaw

    Before we move off the issue of gun control — and it's dead for now, believe me, for reasons this column will make clear — let's take a close look at just how something as popular as expanded background checks failed to pass the U.S. Senate last week.

  4. Gun vote reveals new GOP divide

    It pains me to congratulate the National Rifle Association, but the organization's aid to the U.S. Senate's defeat of background checks for gun purchasers was an impressive victory — against common sense.

  5. Coats defends his vote on guns

    Although polls nationwide and in Indiana show overwhelming support for tightening background checks for gun purchases,Sen. Dan Coats, Indiana's Republican senior senator, voted "no." He says most constituents who contacted him wanted him to do just that. In a wide-ranging interview in Mishawaka, Coats said the gun issue broughtmore calls, e-mails and letters to his office -- more than 40,000 -- than received on all other issues combined in the past two years. Coats said more than 75 percent of the messages were in opposition to tighter background checks in the proposal of Sens. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., and Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., which died in the Senate after failing to get a required 60 votes.

  6. Second Amendment is not the only problem with the Bill of Rights

    The Bill of Rights is full of mischief. Bad guys often beat the rap, religious zealots can run amok, and citizens can deny entry to authorities who are only trying to find out what's being hidden. Worst of all, people are allowed to be self-reliant...

  7. Courage in short supply

    WASHINGTON -- The gun bill was going down, but Sen. Joe Manchin, the West Virginia Democrat who reached a compromise to try to save it, went to the Senate floor Wednesday morning to give it one more try.

  8. The weak in review

    It was dismaying. Not that the U.S. Senate on Wednesday rejected a major gun control proposal that would have required universal background checks prior to all firearm sales. But that such a proposal, popular though it is in opinion polling, wasn't...

  9. Stirred by a message from the heart

    WASHINGTON -- In a city where David's righteousness almost never beats Goliath's might, what Nicole Hockley and the other Sandy Hook families did to the gun lobby last week was nigh unto miraculous.

  10. Newtown tragedy brings bipartisanship back to Congress

    They started out with a lot in common -- Joe Manchin and Patrick Toomey. Sure, one's a Democrat and one's a Republican, but they're both conservatives, both longtime gun owners and both sport an "A" rating from the National Rifle Association.
