Not "we need to make gun carry a thing of the past".

Not "we need to make gun violence a thing of the past".

No qualifiers. No conditionals. No ifs ands or buts. Nothing to claim as misinterpretation, or room to claim you were quoted out of context.

Just simply "we need to make guns a thing of the past."



This is in fact, the first time I believe you've been completely honest about your position.

That being said...

Put your money where your big mouth is, and turn YOURS in first.


Or did you mean "we need to make guns a thing of the past (except hoyts).


Bookmarked.
