to get along with gun owners. There's almost no one more surprised than i that we are even talking about controls of any kind and I AM pretty good at reading the political tea leaves. No one was going to do anything about gun violence in the USA.

Gun owners brought ALL of this on themselves, by demonstrating their own incompetence and ir-responsibility and willingness to engage in violence.
