38. How can you possibly define...

How can you possibly define "The wheels of progress against the obscenity of gun violence in this country" as blocking the import of guns that aren't part of the gun violence problem in the first place?

How can you possibly apply the label of "effective and long overdue gun control", to m1 and garand rifles?

Its most certainly not "right wing" to question that.

I disagree with the President blocking them, even though I have no interest in owning them. Personally, I think someone...one of his advisors perhaps, misled or misinformed him on the issue.

It does confirm however, how you and some others define "reasonable", for anyone that was unclear.
