Political Quotes

“If I can ask my good friend from Connecticut a question. When the Senator goes home to Connecticut to explain it, they understand it, they read it. If anything, we are protecting them more to do the thing they do every day and the way they were trained, and they believe that we are correct. What happens is they start saying: Did you get this question? Yes, but if you do that, then they will just expand it further, and they will take more of our rights away. I say that this is a constitutional amendment. It cannot be by an Executive order. It has to have the action of Congress. So don't worry about someone expanding it or some office or law saying that they are going to expand the rule or expand the interpretation of it, or that the executive--the Governor--is basically going to have an executive ruling that takes more of your rights away. I said you cannot do that with a constitutional amendment. We have to do what we are doing right now. So can't we do the logical thing in passing something that is a building block for us to make sure those who are unstable, who have been criminals, or who want to do harm to all of us should not be able to conveniently go anywhere they want to in America, to a gun show in America, or on the internet--which we never know--and buy that. Did the Senator have any feedback on that to him?”
