are no more dangerous than hunting rifles...

Massive magazines? I guess that doesn't make it more dangerous.

Military style bullets that shred the body...nope, same as a hunting rifle.

I am sad to say this clown is one of my Senators....there is a reason why folks in the Philadelphia area call the rest of the state Pennsyl-tucky...

I'd MUCH rather watch him walk out the door and directly off of a steep cliff.




NOTE TO PHILADELPHIA BRETHREN: "there is a reason why folks in the Philadelphia area call the rest of the state Pennsyl-tucky..."

The state of Pennsylvania is indeed a complex mix - best to think of is as divided by a "T"

The Pittsburgh and Allegheny county area has always been aligned with the voting trends of Philadelphia - but recently the other parts of western PA have been shifting to the "saviors of coal" - counting on IQ45's pledge to make coal "king" again.
You might want to be a bit more considerate when you make your broad swipe with the "Pennsyl-tucky" sweep.

People who love assault weapons vote in every election for Republicans regardless of who is on the ballot. Democrats do not have to worry about them. Democrats just gain votes from people who think both sides aren't doing enough to prevent these mass shootings. So Fu#$ him.
