Policy instead of emotions. you had the president yesterday talking about enhanced background checks, something that i have been pounding the desk about since newtown. and marco rubio, too, a little bit. that the republicans have been ignoring, that the nra has been teaching everybody that follows them is a violation of the second amendment. you have cornyn working with chris murphy on that issue bump stocks which seem so obvious to everybody but got brushed aside after las vegas. we re going to move forward with something there and actually you have people inside the white house that are asking what happens if we go after ar-15s? how do we do it? how do we limit it? and perhaps the president bumbled into that yesterday. i don t think he did. when you hand the microphone over to people that have just been victims of this sort of ....
That s what i personally believe. right? but they will say because i ve been fighting for background checks and limiting the purchase of ar-15s and bump stocks that i want to quote, destroy and they ll say to gun owners. joe wants to destroy your life. we ve got other nra clips here where they are openly inciting violence against members of the media and if somebody dies, then the nra will be held liable for that. you look at those clips and you get that on the far right and then on the far left you have people suggesting they want to confiscate guns. that s not where 90% of americans are. they re just saying let s stop the madness now. let s make it harder. maybe nobody s saying kick down doors and confiscating guns but maybe make it impossible for people like this to just go into a store and purchase an ar-15. i totally agree with that. ....
That view other than justice thomas. i think most likely he would be outvoted 8-1, 7-3 or 7-2, 6-3. but there s so much misinformation going out there that you can t even talk about being sensible. no. without people saying they re coming to take your guns, they want to kick it s just like the nra in 1994 talked about jack what was it? jack thugs that were going to take away your right to free speech, your right to religion, your right to that. that s because george h.w. bush chose to unenroll from the nra. this is the last thing i m going to say. i have grown up in georgia, meridian, mississippi, knot west florida better known as the red neck riviera, lower alabama, ....
Of giving concealed guns to gun adept teachers with military or special training experience, only the best. 20% of teachers, a lot, would now be able to is he not done? yeah, i mean maybe just up there not be able to. so any way so the president has moved, though, it pains me to do this. go ahead, you can. i will defend the president. the president has moved on background checks. again, i cannot tell you how much resistance personally i ve received as a form er nra-approved congressman to talk about background checks. that s something you could never talk about. bump stocks didn t move after vegas. they re talking about it now. there is some movement. what happens in the next few ....
Cultural issue. one is young people historically don t vote. that s sometimes why they don t get their issues don t get listened to. young people would have to vote en masse. gun control as an issue has always been a loser. remember in 1994 the democrats in part i think got wiped out because of the assault weapons ban, but also remember there are millions of good people like me and like you who own guns responsibly and when we can compromise on some issues for safety. right. but some of the messaging that s coming out is people who own guns are bad and i think there are a lot of people and i m not one of them, but when you when people say common sense gun laws they don t hear common sense gun laws, they hear gun control, take my guns. but in part they don t hear common sense gun laws, because the nra is putting out advertisements saying people that are with nra, 80% of the time, like myself. that s a political reality. ....
