Well, that didn't take long. Among other folks queuing up for the Obamagoodies are our friends in the gun grabbing commonsense gun law movement. Here's a test -- and, like most tests, folks who already know the answer really shouldn't shout it out for the rest of the class. Let's start before the beginning.
