It's talk for votes. In this case in the primary. The idea will stop with Betto.
I would tend to agree. However, anyone who talks about it shouldn't get votes. Like it or not, it is a civil liberty that there is an individual right to gun ownership. Democrats have been tending to treat this issue as Republicans treat abortion. Find any way possible to skirt around the constitutional limitations in place on the government. It's wrong for abortion, it's wrong for gun rights. In both instances, the side doing it thinks they are doing it to save lives but really they are pushing to restrict the liberty of the citizens of the country in a way contrary to the ideals of the nation.
