'60 Minutes' on guns

I knew when I watched this "60 Minutes" report last night that it would be big news on the web today.

I was right. It's already drawn more than 700 comments on the CBS site, and bloggers are picking it up left and right (no pun intended).

If you missed it, catch up below. The piece examines how gun control issues -- sales, registration, even the weaponry itself -- have been impacted by recent events, including the economic downturn and the election of President Obama.

Yes, it's 12 and a half minutes long (not 60, as the program's name implies). But if you don't want to be left out of the conversation at the water cooler, take the time to watch it.
