Chuck Schumer: The Numbers Aren't There For Major Gun Control Legislation


As always, I agree far more than nit-pick with your comments, Marco. But I will nit right now. :-)



You cite the condition of the "most ardent supporters­," and it's almost impossible to refute it. There are also scores of others in the ranks of those willing to vote the lesser of two evils. So long as there is a republican on the ballot, they will vote for the "other" one. (I was in the latter group until this administra­tion showed it's true colors.)



I really don't think one demonstrat­es any "spine" to "stand up" to the aforementi­oned groups at all. Maybe I'm just splitting semantic hairs here, but I think 'tough' or 'strong' are inappropri­ate adjectives­. Words like s@dist! c, abu$1ve, and air o gent are closer to the mark. This crew is like an abus1ve parent or spouse, insisting they know all and know better, and some people should be seen and not heard.



"Standing up" has a positive, proactive vibe to it. I think what they do is more like "shouting down."
