In reply to the discussion: My Gunt Rant in Response to a Former FB 'Friend' [View all]humbled_opinion
(4,423 posts)54. The responses by the gun nuts on here
just prove to me exactly why the President will probably have to take unitary action to ban high capacity weapons, we should be able to discuss this issue without the extremists on the right trumping everything with the 2nd Amendment. Even rightwing Jusitice Scalia on a second amendment ruling stated ""the right secured by the Second Amendment is not unlimited."
The Congress is inept and unable to govern when one house is so irrationally ideological, so therefore I support any actions that the President must take to protect the American people.
