And the democrats were really serious, they would proceed to a revenue bill that originated in the house as the constitution requires and as i called on them to do again last week. To repeat, the socalled nate bill is nothing more than a glorified sense of the senate resolution. So lets put that convenient talking point aside from here on out. Last night i told the president wed be happy to look at whatever he proposes but the truth is were coming up against a hard deadline here and, as i said, this is a conversation we should have had months ago. And republicans arent about to write a blank check or anything Senate Democrats put forward just because we find ourselves at the edge of the cliff. That wouldnt be fair to the American People.

Its extremely unlikely in my estimation that David Gregory is going to jail. But the meet the press moderator is under investigation for wielding this particular prop during an interview with the head of the nra. So, here is a magazine for ammunition that carries 30 bullets. Now, isnt it possible that if we got rid of these, if we replaced them and said, well, you can only have a magazine that carries five bullets or ten bullets, isnt it just possible that we could reduce the carnage in a situation like newtown .
