McConnell: I might be open to “serious suggestions” on gun control after I meet with the FBI

All I have are the tweets from CBS right now. I’ll update with the full quote once it’s available.

In the meantime: W-w-w-what?

(TWEETS-AT-LINK)

I assume he’s thinking about limiting gun purchases by people on the terror watch list, which Democrats have been pushing for months. Hillary Clinton reiterated her support for the idea yesterday — as did the Trump campaign. When Bloomberg News e-mailed Corey Lewandowski to ask if Trump still believes what he said in November that “If somebody is on a watch list and an enemy of state and we know it’s an enemy of state, I would keep them away, absolutely,” Lewandowski said yep, as far as he knows. Defending the right of someone under suspicion of terrorism to buy a gun makes as much sense to the average voter, I’d guess, as defending child pornography, but there’s a sound reason for it. The list is enormous and there are no due-process protections governing who lands on it....

“A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.”

That’s all Boehner or anyone else needs to know. End of story.

The stronger Trump gets, the more RINO the repubs get.

If Trump is NOT the winner in November Gun Control is going to be clamped down on the country by EOs and feds everywhere.

It will stand up in Court after November if Trump does not become President. The USSC will quickly become 6-3 Communist and the lower courts already have a whole string of cases waiting to go to the SC that will negate most of the Bill of Rights.

That will happen. Make the Watch list be the determinant for gun purchase or possession and watch it grow exponentially to cover Christians and known Conservatives and hunters and other dangerous groups.

I appreciate the sentiment, but I think it plays right into the hands of liberal gun grabbers to tacitly admit that somehow the AR-15 is deserving of special restrictions due to some supposed inherent extra special characteristics. The AR-15 is a tool just like any other firearm; the issue isn’t the gun.

And while he’s at it, he can approve Mohammed Obama’s Supreme Court nominee in the “11th hour”.

Thoughts:

1) Creating this list will just make the black market for weapons larger and stronger and more likely to involve Mexican Cartels. I suspect even legal gun owners will be tempted to file off serial numbers and sell black market as prices rise.

2) If McConnell has a brain, questionable I know, being put on the no-buy list should suspend all constitutional rights and have other provisions:

- Loss of voting privilege.
- Loss of all social services and benefits including Obamacare.
- Any non-citizens being put on this list should be immediately deported to their country of origin.
- Must listen to Hillary campaign speeches on endless loop.

No need to send him there, just fly him out to Chicago...unarmed.

As a matter of fact, I believe that is a great idea - every gun grabbing pos should stand by their word and hang out in Chicago unarmed, and without their ever present bodyguards.

Hey Anderson Cooper - who are the TRUE hypocrites???

Great. So now we can all die like people in gun free zones. How many died in France, defenseless?
