You should know with the present political make-up any form of gun control would be dead on arrival, where do you get "upcoming gun control legislation"??
From the Conservative fantasyland that she lives in.

Because she is filled with vitriol, ignorance and hate and she just has to let it out with anything regarding President Obama.

That is REALLY the only logic that applies as far as her comments are concerned.

It's kind of sick that people are trying to use the loss of lives to take illogical jabs at the POTUS; and that goes for any POTUS so please don't come back with "I bet you didn't say that when ____"
