what a crock! that was not a panel discussion. it was a gun rally, run by a bunch of gon toting, chest thumping, NRA worshiping, zealots. That was not a balanced discussion at all. And that Mr. John… He knew nothing of the law, and just prattled off a bunch of right-wing talking points, with no ability to back up a think he was saying.
should have stayed home and watched fox news. somewhat more entertaining. thanks for wasting my evening. [Editor’s note: removed profanity]
This comment is interesting, not just for what Sam says, but that Kent would let him post it. It drives the conversation.
