Brandon R. defends the Bombaster-in-Chief, pointing out that the NRA may in fact have been lying about the intent of the Federal government to create a national gun registry.
He misses the point. First, discussing something that could happen isn’t lying.
That’s what government bureaucrats do…correlate data. But the larger issue here is…how can you believe a consistent liar, who then calls others a liar?
And shouldn’t our elected ‘leaders’ be working on protecting basic rights of law-abiding citizens, rather than taking away those rights? Where does the encroachment end?
Slippery-slope interference is a daily government occurrence.
Just as importantly, as Senator Grassley pointed out in Senate deliberations, no new law in the gun-control bills being discussed would have deterred the Sandy Hook killer.
The least we should require is that Congress work on effective legislation.
