if somebody is in the horrible situation of shooting in that classroom, and they re forced to reload the gun, that may be my daughter s life, that may be your child s life. force people to reload. my god, if we can t do that, it s horrible enough about what is happening out here. stop and think about it. when you hear a assault weapons ban, don t think about what they re talking in washington. think about forcing people to reload so we can walk back at least a few lives in mass murder. my god, isn t that enough? so you re saying that in washington, the assault weapons ban is political. would you go so far as to say that the lobbyists are intimidating the lawmakers? the lawmakers know what to do, they just won t do it? well, i m a politician. a lot of things are political. but what does seem to happen is there is this whole thing like oh, gee, the nra is going to unelect me. by the way, they lost most of their elections. they lost their number one goal, which is to stop president ob
be talking about the crises facing our country. and two often the beltway media follows power, doesn t raise the tough questions that people in a democracy deserve to hear. we need to learn more about what is going on with the gun debate. and by the way, the president going to minneapolis, i think is very important. because he needs to get outside of d.c. and press his message, as he did in las vegas with immigration, as he did today in minneapolis. a city which has seen a drop of youth gun violence by 41%. and those optics of law enforcement behind him. he knows he needs to know what he didn t do effectively as much post-2008. get out of the beltway. that s where he is most effective, there is no question about that. but here we are on the verge of trying to get something done. and the media is focusing on the president skeet shooting instead of the president talking about universal background checks and will harry reid actually bring the assault weapons ban to the floor.

hear from brownie last night during the super bowl. who would have ever thought it? e.j., what was most surprising when it was all unfolding to you? well, first of all, i mean i m just shocked that brownie wanted to get out there on anything having to do with new orleans. i just want to turn it around a little and say that my super bowl mvps are the electricians, the technicians and other workers who got those lights back on in a half hour, a little over a half an hour. i mean, we don t realize or think much about how much we depend on folks like that until we really need them. but in terms of these other explanations, i am just surprised that the right hasn t yet blamed beyonce for being a secret partner of solyndra. i mean, what are they going to come up with? the other point here is that, karen, they just never miss an opportunity to go after the president and degrade him, do they? that s right. and remember, beyonce was a supporter of the president. so i m sure if there is so
