He was really clever saying that AK47 should be in the hands of soldiers since true AK47 are either in the hands of soldiers or tightly regulated by NFA.

The next day Carney was clearing up any misconceptions about new federal laws.

Gore lost the 2000 election because it was stolen. He also lost it because he ran a awful campaign still_one Aug 2012 #52

while I agree with you, gejohnston Aug 2012 #53

If it was today I would agree with the assessment regarding the power of the NRA, but even though still_one Aug 2012 #56

Why do the pol's always engage in "assault rifle" doublespeak? OneTenthofOnePercent Jul 2012 #7

I support Obama, but I don't think that excuse remotely excuses him. TPaine7 Jul 2012 #13

He stated AK because he's been told attacking the AR ileus Jul 2012 #12

He knows what he's doing. And he know most folks that hung up on guns aren't going to vote for him. Hoyt Jul 2012 #19

That's a good point. NewMoonTherian Jul 2012 #29

Maybe. I think the 90+% of population that would not think of toting in public have "toes" too. Hoyt Jul 2012 #30

That's cool and all, but what about the entire subset of Americans (22-25%) that own guns? friendly_iconoclast Jul 2012 #35

I think most people with guns aren't as into them as those who tote and have a cache in their house. Hoyt Jul 2012 #37

You are naive beyond belief, sir....... Simo 1939_1940 Jul 2012 #40

Sorry, I think you are wrong. I don't think most people hold guns in such Hoyt Jul 2012 #42

I wouldn't vote for a republican Reasonable_Argument Jul 2012 #43

Might as well vote for them. Guns just aren't that important to most people. Hoyt Jul 2012 #44

Democrats suffer a compound penalty for their positions on gun restriction. Simo 1939_1940 Aug 2012 #45

Look, someone who is that much into guns ain't likely going to vote for a Democrat. Hoyt Aug 2012 #46

guilt by association? gejohnston Aug 2012 #47

Typical gun owner in my experience. You guys may be different, but that's your typical right winger. Hoyt Aug 2012 #48

you need to get out more gejohnston Aug 2012 #49

No, but per the usual -- you dodge the main point. Simo 1939_1940 Aug 2012 #59

Yesterday I finally mailed back a letter instead of a check in response to a request Simo 1939_1940 Jul 2012 #20

Good on you, Simo. Callisto32 Jul 2012 #33

Thanks, Callisto. I also donated a few hundred to the Democratic Party, and hence Simo 1939_1940 Jul 2012 #39

You'll notice he did not go after "assault rifles". Atypical Liberal Jul 2012 #21

Agreed. President Obama is a very smart man, and chose his words deliberately. friendly_iconoclast Jul 2012 #25
