Seeing Pelosi on the TV was enough to scare to me into buying an AK-47. It makes you realize that ZOMBIES are a real threat.

I like Rendell but if there was a dollar to be made from the state selling guns or running shooting ranges, he'd be 100% in favor of them.

Wayne LaPierre sometimes does alright standing up for his side,sometimes he misses opportunity by not saying certain things.

Thr governor threw out statements and "statistics" that could have been smashed and the one quote that him,Feinstein,Clinton,Schumer,McCarthy and the rest all have used is "nobody needs one".If they are allowed to decide that with a blank check what stops them from deciding whatelse you "don't need?"

The governor and the others needs to be challenged to why they listed many types not even close to being "assault weapons" in their ban list and misuse the term "assault weapon".

And his statement about 40 cops shot by assault weapons (and that is questionable if they really were assault rifles or just reported to be so ) since the ban ended is misleading.During the 90's while the ban was in effect those 2 guys in California went on a shooting spree after robbing a bank with them,the guys in Columbine went on the spree while it was in effect,so how did the ban stop anything and if so how did the end of the ban allow cops since to be shot?

The governor needs to be reminded that Charles Witman used a hunting rifle and shotgun and killed more in that killing spree than most have done with a assault rifle.

The governor needs to reminded or debunked because many many people go to the range every week with the types of guns they want to ban and nobody ever gets hurt,so don't say nobody needs them.
