Well, I didn’t write the headline.
I liked the “Gun control is hitting what you aim at” — but of course the preposition at the end of the sentence is also fodder for criticism.

Grammar Myth #1. You shouldn’t end a sentence with a preposition. Wrong! You shouldn’t end a sentence with a preposition when the sentence would mean the same thing if you left off the preposition. That means “Where are you at?” is wrong because “Where are you?” means the same thing. But there are many sentences where the final preposition is part of a phrasal verb or is necessary to keep from making stuffy, stilted sentences: “I’m going to throw up,” “Let’s kiss and make up,” and “What are you waiting for” are just a few examples. (See episode 69 for more details.)
Hitting what you aim! . . . Believe - “Hitting what you aim at” would be correct.
Which comes first grammar or speech? Can native speakers make a grammar mistake if the native speaker is the source of all grammar? Do these hit the target?
This preposition scandal will sink him. No true conservative would be so weak on grammar. This just proves what a RINO he is. He will be attacked in the primaries and, if he wins the nomination, he will be hounded by the media and Obama on his sentence structure. They will use it to frighten English teachers, who vote in droves. I think he made a grave error with this. He needs to come out with a strong statement regarding proper sentence format, or he's sunk. Regardless, I will never vote for him now.
