Jeb Bush Supports Gun Control

Jeb Bush said Saturday. Bush, who plans to meet with black ministers in Charleston, South Carolina, on Monday, said identifying potentially violent people before they commit such crimes is a better approach than further restrictions on gun ownership. ‘We as a society better figure out how we identify these folks long before they feel compelled to take up a gun and kill innocent people,’ the former Florida governor said at a town hall meeting.” And then, this . . .

Afterward, he told reporters gun control was an issue that should be sorted out at the state level.

“Rural areas are very different than big, teeming urban areas,” he said.

Well, looks like that's another plus for the gopE candidate of choice. What the hell is wrong with us? The libs have run rough shod over conservatives for too long and they ain't slowing down thanks in part to the lame stream media. And of course the IPOS/SPOS/LPOS/UPOS who buy their garbage. Or, those that are more concerned about what the latest karduchian offspring will be named.

Anyone who wants a gun should be denied because they are too paranoid to own one. /sarc

...said identifying potentially violent people before they commit such crimes is a better approach than further restrictions on gun ownership.

Is there a Liberal tenet that Jeb Bush doesn’t support?

“Rural areas are very different than big, teeming urban areas,”

Yes, they are. We're FAR more likely to need to defend ourselves in "big, teeming urban areas".

Jeb Bush does not want to be President and he has no ideal how to back out of the run. So he keeps saying one stupid thing after another.

We should identify who is dangerous BEFORE they commit a crime?

I think we have identified this candidate as dangerous before he is elected. Lock him up.

“Rural areas are very different than big, teeming urban areas,” he said.

So he believes the 2A can be doled out based on your geography now?

“Rural areas are very different than big, teeming urban areas,”

Might be an exact quote.

Remembering that both these dorks are running for president, not major of Chicago... The logic they are presenting is that big cities, which already have lots of gun control, need help with violence because their gun control hasn’t worked so we need FEDERAL laws to take the guns away from rural people, who they just said don’t have a problem. Sure that make sense.

Um, didn’t Dr. Ben also make the same sort of statement. If you don’t know what your position is, you have no position.

The headline does not match the body of the article.

As HORRIBLE as Jeb is on all other issues. He's not saying he supports gun control at all in this article.
