The Buffalo News has a detailed piece about the fear of gun control that's driving big sales in guns and ammunition. As the News points out, there's really no chance for further gun control legislation in this Congress, and President Obama isn't planning on introducing any. Eric Massa is quoted in the piece saying that the Binghamton shootings, which involved registered guns, shouldn't lead to "sprint" to new legislation.
Time-Warner spokesman Landel Hobb's lack of touch with reality gets another airing at this media blog. Hobbs is the guy who raised fears of an Internet "brownout". The article notes that Internet growth, while still robust at 30-40%, has lessened in recent years.
