Mission Statement: This blog reviews the news of the day in light of 242 years of American history. "Nationalism," a modern day pejorative, has been our country's politic throughout history, until 2008. Obama changed that narrative. Trump is seeking a return to our historical roots. Midknight Review supports this return to normality.

Seattle is under fire from the NRA, but is this a fair criticism?
Judge for yourself. Frankly, I don't see the problem:
A gun owner must come to a police station or file a
report quickly when a firearm is lost, stolen or used improperly by
someone else. Failure to report a gun theft, loss or misuse could result
in civil penalties. Gun owners could be fined up to
$500 for failure to store a firearm
in a locked container or to render it unusable to anyone but the owner. The fine would increase to $1,000 if a minor or prohibited person gets their hands on an unsecured weapon. The fine would increase even more – up to $10,000 – if a minor or
prohibited person uses an unsecured firearm to cause injury, death or
commit a crime.
