The on-line New York Times has a daily feature called “Room for Debate.” The paper picks a topic for the day, and posts short essays from five experts. Today’s topic is Guns in Parks: Safe, Scary or a Sideshow?. My essay on the topic supports the new federal law, and praises President Obama for signing it, because the law simply says that federal lands should follow the same policies as their host states. The four other essayists include Jens Ludwig and John Lott.
