Anything factually in error in this statement?
Edit: This statement was made because of the positions of those in power in the Democratic party, who also happen to be in power in the government. I'm not afraid of what the Republicans might do about gun control because they can't do anything.
Should I start crying about how the Republicans don't support gun rights enough when they can't do anything anyway?
If you name me an entire crew of folks in power within the last 20 years that were squeaky clean (or heck, to the extent you'd trust them alone with your child), I'll drink a entire bottle of Code Red.
President Bush Sr banned the import of "assault weapons" in 1989. Reagan signed the Mulford Act in 1967 and supported the Brady Bill. Rudolph Giuliani sued the gun manufacturers in 2000. Bush Jr supported the renewal of the AWB and opposed Heller. etc, etc Not saying Repubs aren't usually better on 2A issues. But to pretend they are completely friendly to 2A is insane. With a Republican lock on both houses and the Presidency, name me a single gun law that was repealed. Not "allowed to expire", repealed.
At the moment, neither Obama nor Congress want to touch an AWB. The media, who ALWAYS wants more gun control, and political appointees seem to want an AWB. But no one that's actually, you know, elected. I'll friggin accept as "good enough".
If you can't get your way through love and admiration, getting your way from cringing fear will do quite nicely.
