Bozell Column: The Liberal 'Least Productive' Complaint
Liberals are angry that President Obama won a second term, and yet they didn’t get the liberal agenda items they wanted passed in 2013, including gun control and amnesty for illegal aliens. The complaint at the end of the year is that this was the “least productive Congress” in 66 years, production always measured by the amount of legislation passed.

Both ABC's Good Morning America and CBS This Morning on Tuesday covered a big win for the Second Amendment in the courts.
