Political Quotes

“It is, I say to Senator Reed. If you think about what we are doing today, the individuals who are contemplating lone-wolf attacks are not building IEDs in their basements any longer. They are going to the store and buying assault weapons. We essentially are selling weapons to the enemy. We are selling weapons to the enemy--powerful military style weapons. We are advertising them, and individuals who are contemplating these lone-wolf attacks are buying them. In fact, I have read quotes earlier today on the floor from terrorist operatives where they are calling on Americans to purchase these weapons and turn them on civilians because it is so easy to get access to them. This is a very deliberative tactic on behalf of these very dangerous international terrorist organizations, and that is one of the reasons why we think we have to wake up to the new reality of the threat of lone-wolf attacks and change our laws.”
