Oops. Wrong Hook For His Lede.

That's got to be how Glenn Reynolds is feeling.  He opens his pro-gun USA Today editorial with this:

After a shooting spree," author William Burroughs once said, "they always want to take the guns away from the people who didn't do it." Burroughs continued: "I sure as hell wouldn't want to live in a society where the only people allowed guns are the police and the military.

Burroughs shot and killed his 28 year old wife, Joan.  He was convicted of manslaughter and there are good reaons to think that when he shot his wife, he was  drunk and/or playing a William Tell game, attempting to shoot a glass of gin off the top of her head.  

For a different law professor's view on guns,  my colleague Lisa McElroy offers this.  

H/T to a far less delicate Brian Leiter.
