Damn.

Don't worry, someone will be along shortly to apologize for him and explain that it was just taken out of context.

Listening to news radio the other day, a caller from Vancouver (Canada or Washington?) offered that if only the west would give solar energy technology and water treatment equipment to ISIS, they would stop fighting. I'll bet he would vote for Bernie Sanders and that there are many more like him.

Let me clarify that...
...the politicians will make that final push into the end zone to ban firearms for private ownership, they will add a brutal sales tax on all ammunition, and they will zealously push to prove that white privilege, christian radicalism, cultural intolerance, and global warming is the cause of the attacks.


Thats what I think
I'm not so sure. Just like the increase of shotgun purchase in Europe, if the govt started shoving refugees by the tens thousands to each states, we will see AR's and AK's flying off the shelves again.

The Kenyan has a "shall issue" decree for every muslim entering the USA. AK's are now located in the "refugees" "party favors" bag along with a supply of 7.62x39.
