I see no need to nominate a gun-grabber to be president. Otherwise, the threshhold for a gun law is 51 percent

And that is not inconsistent with what I have posted. If a non-gun-grabber sits in the White House, the threshhold is 67 percent.

Those two statements are not inconsistent with each other, but they form a non sequitur. You stated "the threshold for a gun law is 51 percent." That is false. It happens to be true that the threshold for a gun law with a President who would veto it is 67%, but that doesn't make the 51% with a gun-grabbing President figure any less inaccurate.

Gawd, you are a colossal waste of bandwidth.

The critical numbers here are 51 and 67. It is quite possible to get a gun control to the Oval Office desk with RINO support, which negates a filibuster.

So the critical issue is, will it be vetoed or signed? Which makes this a 51-67 issue.

Goodnight, JUCO bait.
