"If you want to talk about gun control, that's where you need to start. We've got 300 gun laws on the books right now. At the end of the day, it's about how we enforce the law."
In plain English this means, "Screw your gun-control bill, we've got enough gun laws. Don't like what's happening on the street? Arrest the criminals. Quit trying to hassle law-abiding gun owners with your statist crap."
Maybe this will help limn where Steele's coming from on 2A.
Enforcing existing laws is the right answer to gun crime.
Society should draw lines. What do you need an assault weapon for, if you're going hunting? That's overkill. But I don't think that means you go to a total ban for those who want to use gun for skeet shooting or hunting or things like that But what's the point of passing gun laws if we're not going to enforce them? If you want to talk about gun control, that's where you need to start. We've got 300 gun laws on the books right now. At the end of the day, it's about how we enforce the law.

You took Mr. Steeles quote out of context, I fixed it for you and put the rest of it in. He is ANTI-GUN and pro-abort, he is for gay marriage. You cannot reach out to those groups and stand against them on conservative principles at the same time, that's called being two faced or deceptive if you will. If you read and listen to every thing this guy says there is no doubt he is a RINO. I would not vote for this guy if he were running for office and I won't support him as RNC chairman.
The second amendment isn't about hunting it is about self defense, against criminals and against our government if need be. Period.
