From his official twitter account

How nervous should we be?

I don't know why anyone would be surprised or nervous. Making background checks required for all sales along with limits on military-looking stuff and high capacity magazines are all that has really been discussed anyway. These kinds of restrictions are not remotely similar to "taking away our guns." In my estimation, the discussion of these restrictions isn't enough to motivate me to run around like a crazy person and spend my rent money on more hardware which I don't really need.

Does it make you nervous that none of his proposed actions would do anything to curb the very violent acts that he is using as a soap box? You think maybe he has a much larger agenda? You think maybe he's lulling people like you to sleep by preeching about "assault weapons" in anticipation of going after your pow pows old 16 gauge when his legislation does nothing to reduce violent crimes? Don't be a fricking idiot. Make no doubt about it. He doesn't just want mean looking black guns. He wants all guns, he's just taking baby steps.

One or the other - I hear Cold Pizza is subleasing space in his bunker though.

Was flipping channels earlier. He was giving a speech in minniapolis, said the majority of gun owners favored an aw and high mag capacity ban.

Of course he did. I'll share a secret with you... know how to tell that a politician is lying? His lips are moving.

Oh, I know. Just getting even more brazen with it. Midterms can't get here soon enough.

He's pandering to his audience. I believe MN is a blue state and they have some "progressive" gun reform laws... at least that's what I read this morning.

That's how it starts. In 50 years, gun ownership by the general population will be a thing of the past.
