Welcome back on the -- I'm Jonathan Hunt a couple of you weighing in on the gun debate -- says the NRA -- too many politicians.
In congress for it to pots and assault weapons ban.
Missed -- hostetler says this is a states issue.
Not a job for the federal government it just struck me actually Robert O'Brien of day former Romney.
Campaign it was just start talking about the subway pushing deaths that we've had.
In New York -- Yeah they were both apparently both the -- perpetrators of those pushes.
Were mentally ill.
They didn't apparently have access to weapons so -- they eventually did killed one person rather than killing say twenty people.
All 26 people -- -- off fifteen.
So that probably means that Ellen -- things that I am one of these what is it media lap dogs demonizing the opposition a gun control Alan hello.
Hi well you know something interest in mr.
hunt.
I don't know anything interesting -- you -- act item on my side of the fence I think there has been and I'm a liberal.
80 really lack of looking act.
The the other side you when you were were choosing a little lives -- choosing.
The right for demonizing the -- -- etc.
but mainstream media is looking the other way when it looks to.
The the liberals are the Democrats demonizing the right.
And there's too much demonization on all sides unfortunate in the media isn't looking at my side too much.
But you know when the president is saying.
Talking about.
Paying our bills.
And then he uses the word irresponsible and absurd.
The press did not really pick up on that in his press conference yesterday.
And nor did they deal with the spending.
The president that actually have got us into a little bit of this -- so I think that it's not being really fair.
On both sides of the fence here and I think that's a big concern.
Look I'm a -- but I think we ought to be a be fair and mainstream media is glossing over that part of the president the other thing that they did.
Is ahead President Bush.
Done what President Obama did yesterday not at all I wasn't there are -- person was there.
Yesterday but but I I stepped through the whole thing.
And I have to tell you the president did what we used to call on to president.
Bush filibustering.
Essentially giving such long answers that other question should could not be asked or even decent follow up questions.
By other members that press.
Could be asked and that also was not taken up by the press in any of the mainstream press that I saw that's my -- bashing for Tibet eat and Jersey.
But -- of -- absurd.
Alan there's an argument being made by Joseph break on live chat boards right now.
On on the gun control thing which strikes me as one of those absurd arguments.
That have frequently made by those in favor of guns and more guns.
He says the prevention of tyranny is more consistent with the ownership of high caliber weapons -- I mean really.
People on easily believe in the greatest democracy in the world that the governors of governments that take away all our rights and we gonna become a -- -- That really -- not gonna happen but I want to say to people like that listen if would.
If this or any government wants to get you there things like drones tanks it's -- people don't own -- -- tech.
Right now.
Perhaps perhaps that's what they don't want Negron I have some sort of op PG also this to -- missile in their backyard so they could shoot down the drones we shall see where it'll ends up.
