never any connection with this program with gun control. in fact, it started under the bush administration, all these kinds of programs, and that administration was not exactly for gun control. what role does the president play in this in talking to his party members in the house to get their heads screwed on right about this? does he play any role at all? i you know, i don t know that the president is going to be persuasive of these guys, from west virginia, the guy mathison from utah, but john dingell, the dean of the house, and always stood with the nra had the decency today to stand up and say i m not going to vote with this. it s out of bounds. this is an improper investigation. if the nra really cared about gun walking which didn t happen here, but really cared about gun walking, guns getting into the hands of drug dealers, they wouldn t be stopping background checks at drug shows because an awful lot of guns walk out of those shows. what is the political faloét of this?
