He did a piece on him a while back and I found it really eye opening. Lawrence used to work in those trenches and he is a very smart man.

Apparently Franken likes it's low profile. You may think he is doing nothing because his name is rarely in the news - and he likes it that way. He wants the people of Minnesota to know he is working for Them and not doing tv interview circuits or going out to promote a book or any shit like that or jump on the national tv to add his hair on fire to the topic of the day.

His time is Theirs.

and about the guns topic, the post above me explains it well why he is neutral on this.
