Political Quotes

On the recordJuly 29, 2014
Day three, Washington under siege--3 days ago, a Federal judge struck down D.C.'s unconstitutional ban on the right to bear arms. D.C. went from having the most restrictive gun laws in the country to having virtually no restrictions on carrying a handgun in public. Did gun-toting tourists commence to shoot-outs? Did residents cower in their homes? Did vigilante posses maraud about the city? Did politicians revert to dueling at 10 paces? No, none of these things are happening. History will show the streets are safer today as more law- abiding residents and visitors are armed. Contrary to apocryphal warnings from D.C. leaders, no one is panicked--except for the city's leaders. Why are the city's leaders apoplectic, and why are they asking for an immediate stay from the judge's ruling? Because the emperor has no clothes and all of the lies about gun control are being exposed right here in the District of Columbia on day three. ____________________

I got to give credit to Lauren Boebert, to walk into the White House, and to sustain that, and to come back out and be solid.
