damage, that is the focus of tonight s angled. the next time you hear democrats claim that republican or pro- second limit types don care about children or their safety, i want you to do one thing, i want you to laugh in their faces. they are the ones that don t care about the kids. their policies create the fertile ground person some of the most nations most violent figures have emerged. they ignore any of the cultural and societal issues simmering beneath the surface and instead accuse conservatives of refusin to compromise on guns. very quickly, maybe more folks would be willing to compromise on guns if democrats themselves hadn t told us what the real goal really is. kicky it may not be politically popular, not only should no one be able to purchase an air 15, don t think they should be able. them. kicky we need a moratorium perhaps on gun sales. who will say on this network or any other network and the next few days it s time to repeal th second amendment. as usua
