  2. Shooters rejoice: Feinstein's assault weapons ban is dumped

    This time, we dodged a bullet. Another mass shooting – the sort of bloody event that seems to happen on a weekly basis – was averted Monday when James Oliver Seevakumara chose to shoot himself before he could carry out his plot to shoot a bunch of his fellow students at the University of Central Florida.

  3. Moving up the CIA ladder

    CIA Director John Brennan is reportedly considering promoting an official who ran an overseas "black site" where suspected terrorists were interrogated and who was involved in the decision to destroy videotapes of waterboarding. It's an outrageous idea. Installing that official as head of the agency's National Clandestine Service would undermine the Obama administration's insistence that it has repudiated the abuses of the George W. Bush administration's war on terror.

  4. Congressman brings common sense to gun control debate

    SACRAMENTO — As the national firearms debate reaches a crescendo, a Northern California congressman is proving that you can be both a gun lover and a gun controller.

  5. An assault weapons ban was doomed. Focus on background checks.

    WASHINGTON -- Earlier this month, <a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/commentary/la-oe-mcmanus-column-gun-control-20130303,0,3623994.column">I wrote</a> that the Senate was making quiet progress toward passing a gun control bill that would make background checks mandatory on buyers in almost all gun purchases, including most sales between individuals. And that, I argued, would count as real progress toward more sensible gun regulation.

  6. Sens. Ted Cruz and Dianne Feinstein face off on gun control

    Freshman Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), a tea party darling, evidently is so proud of his exchange with Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) during the Senate Judiciary Committee's session Thursday, he posted a <a href="http://youtu.be/yCehCjuB7AM">video</a> of it on YouTube. At issue was the constitutionality of <a href="http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c113:S.150:">S 150</a>, Feinstein's proposal to ban semiautomatic assault weapons and large-capacity magazines.

  7. Senate debate over drones divides Republican Party

    WASHINGTON -- A sudden debate over the potential use of unmanned drones against terrorist suspects in the United States touched off a power struggle within the Republican Party on Thursday, even as the Senate confirmed President Obama&rsquo;s CIA nominee after a highly publicized delay.

  10. Terrorism and the war at home

    Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) waged a 13-hour filibuster on the Senate floor this week in a futile effort to set clear limits on the administration's use of covert military force. Specifically, Paul wanted the administration to concede that it couldn't legally assassinate Americans on U.S. soil. The idea that a president would approve a drone strike on a citizen sitting at a cafe in Boston or San Francisco or Wichita seems far-fetched, but even the least paranoid among us can't help but be troubled by the administration's less-than-definitive assurances.

  11. Bill Rosendahl, happy warrior

    Robert Kennedy was a young Bill Rosendahl's hope for the White House, but Kennedy's rival, Hubert Humphrey, practiced the "happy warrior" style of politics that represents the principles Rosendahl has embraced. As he leaves the Los Angeles City Council after two terms, his eight years in office (and a diagnosis of cancer, now in remission) have not extinguished Rosendahl's cheerfulness, but they have given his warrior side an instruction booklet.

    Let&rsquo;s just be clear: No regular American needs an assault weapon for home defense.
    Let’s just be clear: No regular American needs an assault weapon for home defense. So why is there so much resistance on this? On Thursday, the Senate Judiciary Committee approved a ban -- introduced by California Democrat Dianne Feinstein -- on...
