George told Clinton (Bill, not the one in charge) that gun control will not work.

“As much as I hate to say it, the NRA is effective primarily because it is largely right when it claims that most gun control laws inconvenience and threaten the law-abiding while having little or no impact on violent crime or criminals,” wrote Jody Powell, the former Carter press aide.

“I support registration in principle,” the memo reads. “But two questions need to be asked. Are the people causing the problem going to comply voluntarily? If not, do you have a way to effectively enforce compliance? If the answer is ‘no’ in both cases, consider whether the benefits are worth making Bob Dole majority leader.

Just in time for the MSM to avoid discussing this with Hillary.

stay safe.

She hates to say it, eh? So why would she hate to say it? Is it just a matter of having to admit that she's been wrong to support gun control in the past? Or is it because this means she'll have to give up using crime-deterrence as an excuse to disarm the law-abiding, which was her actual goal?
