They wouldn't confirm Bush's nominee, or Obama's.And...despite the growth of the gun industry and the nations population, ATF has fewer agents today than it did nearly four decades ago. For that we can thank the NRA's lobbying efforts, and the members of Congress that they have bought and paid for. Both Democrats and Republicans.Don't you even believe in equality for all?It's a lofty goal to aspire to.Unfortunately it doesn't work as well in practice as is does in theory.Freedom?Why should Gregory be allowed to do something I can't?Seriously?Why?I'm pretty sure if you were the host of Meet The Press, and you did what he did, you'd be allowed.
