hardly looks unilateral to me. Don't these yahoos follow the news? Sheesh.
As you have already considered, this is clearly an obstructionist tactic, aimed at somehow achieving political gain, which is overtly dishonest and deceitful in trying to influence public opinion. What will these people say when we whip their asses and put all these illegal weapons on public display? Their statements need to be widely aired on public media over and over and over again until the next election. These types are dangerous to the integrity of our republic.
