Tim Kaine, gun owner(pernicious NRA lobby)

There are just a few days left until Election Day, and although you might not be hearing it amid all the chatter about email, the Clinton campaign hasn’t backed off its war on the National Rifle Association.

That could have far-reaching implications. If they win, Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine will be in a position to pursue an agenda on guns that would have been unthinkable even to Democrats just a few years ago. And they plan to do it using new language on gun safety that puts the NRA on the defense.

Kaine is the face of a new new kind of gun control messaging: a white dude gun owner who understands skepticism toward people who don’t like guns and who thinks the NRA has lost its way.

“The overwhelming majority of gun owners support the kinds of proposals that we’re pushing, like background record checks,” Kaine told VICE News Tonight. “And sadly, the NRA has switched from being a representative of gun owners to being representative of gun manufacturers.”

Sheesh! I suppose he could get those other 2nd amendment supporters margabby kelley-giffords to help him promote common sense gun safety intiatives. Hunters beware.

If you like your plan you can keep your plan

The Bengazi attacks were a spontaneous demonstration due to an anti-islam video

None of the emails on the private server were classified

etc.

From the most dishonest corrupt and stupid president we've ever had to one who will double down on everything that's been done wrong in the last 8 years. Democrats only tell the truth by accident.

When Obama said, “If they bring a knife, we bring a gun”, he ignored that it can work both ways.....

Is this guy just two fruit loops shy of the brilliance of Joe Biden?

He doesn’t seem to be mentally or temperamentally suited to the job of Vice President.

He seems tweaked to me.

He doesn’t know what the hell he is doing.

He is a creepy fart, that we know.

I reiterate my previous position :

NOT ONE MORE DAMN INCH!

I will not support any gun control legislation. No matter how finely crafted, no matter how precisely targeted.

Every proposal is just one more step toward their eventual goal. I refuse to take even one more step toward that goal.

Whatever the case with the demented and hypocritical Kaine, it remains the case that a hilary win will lead to the nullification of the Second Amendment - as well as the rest of the Bill of Rights.

I agree on both those counts, and I’ve only observed him a little.

It must be in the DNC rule book; "Must have goofy sidekick",

"your jester/sidekick/Vice President, which ever term you prefer,will provide comic relief and distraction so that you can keep moving with all your illegal, unConstitutional and UnAmerican, plans & operations"

It’s not my Question 1. LOL! Thinking about the win for the momunists and all I can come up with is, who cares. Infringe still means infringe. It’s an infringement. Thus to be ignored.
