If we would properly deal with the legitimate foreign threats (and by the way, that "you forgot" line was about as vapid as it gets), there wouldn't be as much of a pressing need for the domestic protections. That also goes for holding another countries accountable for human rights violations (especially when we offer to lift sanctions)

And a high majority of gun related homicides are gang related. Funny, but when the president goes on TV and goes on a lecture, he fails to mention that.

I still like you, Bill :)
