    • Didn't Obama just talk about this at a town hall?!?kona
    • This is what bleeding heart liberals and the democratic base has been asking for all along.monospaced
    • "Yes, I'd like to buy these two packs of Sudafed please." Sorry sir, that's illegal. "Oh, Ok. Than can I get 1 pack and these 7 guns please." Yes sir!kona

    • this would require a federal registry, I think, which has been deemed unconstitutionalmonospaced
    • Absolutely playing politics. The dems and the administration are vilifying the NRA with a position they do not hold.IRNlun6
    • What's interesting about this tweet ironically, is that it allows the NRA to clarify their position.IRNlun6
    • Kind of a tricky strategy the Dems are pulling right now. Using the political tailwinds from the recent tragedy to push their restrictions on the 2nd amendment.IRNlun6
    • It's not a tricky strategy, it's a general outcry among the populace that's voiced by regular people every single fucking time this happens.monospaced
    • Thing is... nothing seems to be done, ever. Kindergarten class gunned down, movie theater, corporate office and public venues. Still, can't address guns at all.monospaced
    • Some asshole botches a hijacking, and 15 years later I'm still taking off my shoes and throwing away water at the airport. But I can have an AR-15 with addons.monospaced
    • Nothing seems to be done is why it's tricky. Dems can't pass anything because it hasn't gotten the public support claimed.IRNlun6
