Continuing his cross-country book tour, former FBI Director James Comey railed against the National Rifle Association and disputed claims that he was considering running for political office. According to the Miami Herald, Comey briefly touched on gun rights in the wake of recent mass shooting tragedies, telling readers at a book event in Miami that the NRA "sells fear" to gun owners.
As for specific gun laws that should be put in place to prevent similar shootings like the Parkland, Florida School shooting in February, Comey said he would support "reasonable restrictions" to current laws. He shot down criticism that changing such laws would be a slippery slope.
"It's not a slippery slope, it's a concrete set of stairs built by America's founders," he said. "Let's have these conversations standing there, holding the rails."
As for making his way back to Washington and running for political office, he told supporters that he'd make a "crappy candidate," pointing to his disdain for political fundraising.
"I hate the idea of asking people for money," he told the crowd.

What a dope he is. Between using language like “crappy” and talking in total cliches about Mr. Trump’s appearance, he gives the impression of not being very bright.
he'd make a "crappy FBI Chief".....Oh, wait....
There will likely be an initiative petition on Oregon’s ballot this fall, banning all semi-autos. Did the NRA put it there to scare me?
He doesn't have to beg for it, they just give it to him.
I shudder every time I hear some say “comprehensive”, “common sense” or “reasonable”. I know, they know and everyone knows it’s a lie.
You, personally, are a Deep State bastard.
Remember how CNN keeps telling us this clown is a Republican. As usual they lie.
Comey and the behavior of the deep state are the reason people need to be armed. Their corruption and sedition is out of control.
It’s like making Hogg an FBI agent.
Yes, he would. He’s crappy, period.
No Jackass. It's Ass Clowns like you that put fear and loathing into law abiding gun owners. Comey, what a tool!
This from a guy who constantly had armed guards?
