CORRECT.

They have spoken with RECORD gun sales, AMMUNITION impossible to find as it gets bought as soon as it arrives.
They have spoken with RECORD communications to their Congress-critters and exploding NRA memberships.

The public HAS spoken, BLOOMBASTARD!!

And the message is clear - KEEP YOUR DAMN HANDS OFF OUR SECOND AMENDMENT YOU POWERMAD CONTROL FREAK!!!!
