"This is why literate people hate people who utilize poor grammar" might be more accurate because his rambling rant was both "pro gun" and "pro gun control."

Exactly.

I've had a few people ask, "why would any one need an assault rifle in their house? Why would you need a fully auto rifle" I then asked them if they thought that ever AR was fully auto...they said yes. Some people just don't know and they believe the worst. I mean, I understand not knowing something but don't accuse/make statements about "facts" if you don't know about the facts of the "facts"

I like how picking a director for the ATF is on the list. I am pretty sure that is one of Obama's jobs anyways.

If that is the actual list of his initiatives, I have a hard time - on their face - objecting strongly to most (any) of them.
