Cal Thomas Column: Dark Night
By now the script should be familiar. A bombing or a mass shooting occurs and the media immediately look for a simple cause. Invariably, they turn to talk radio or some other conservative pit of "intolerance."

WashPost Columnist Kelly: Make Gun Purchasers Get a 'Co-Signer' to Vou
Updated below: Kelly replies via Twitter.
Washington Post Metro columnist John Kelly usually avoids controversial political subjects and often does "answer man" features about local D.C.-area history, making his feature overall an enjoyable read.
