1. The craven nature of @marcorubio on the gun issue is more apparent than with most politicians. The reason is not what he says about policy, but what he says about guns themselves. So many of his statements are wrong about guns as objects that it is clear he has done no work...
2....to even understand what the thing is he is talking about. How can anyone talk about policy for, say, a carburetor when every time they speak they make it clear they don't know anything about carburetors. This first emerged the @marcorubio raised "hunters"....
3....using AR-15s for hunting. Without major adjustments by the owner, an AR-15 cant shoot a caliber bullet that is legal for hunting deer, etc. The reason why is that hunters are not in the torture business - they would have to rip apart the deer with repeated firings to....
4...ensure it died without extreme, unnecessary pain. And hunters arent in the "rip the deer apart with repeated firings" business either. They use higher caliber rifles to greater ensure that the deer is killed quickly with a single shot. So, @marcorubio doesn't know what....
5...these guns are for. Next, @marcorubio doesn't even know the correct talking points. He referred to "so called assault rifles" which is like me saying "so called Marco Rubio." Assault rifles is a legitimate term used for a category of guns. "Assault WEAPONS" is a political...
6...term that does not define a category of weapons as recognized by any guns manufacturer. That is why, in the assault weapons ban, a lot of work had to go in to figuring out what an assault weapon was and defining them by maker and brand. So, lot of gun owners say....
7..."so called assault weapons" because it's not a real gun term. They never say "so called assault rifles" like @marcorubio does. His other errors are legion. To give him a half point for one, however, he did correctly say that an assault rifle is not a machine gun, however....
8...unless he stands up and says "which is why we should ban bump stocks" it is clear he is just reading more garbage. If @marcorubio thinks fully automatic machine guns are bad - as an rational human being would - why does he not call for a ban of bump stocks, which allow a.....
9...semi-auto rifle to shoot like a full-auto? The reason: @Marcorubio is just SAYING THINGS. He is not taking the time to learn about guns, which makes it CLEAR he is not taking the time to learn about policy. If children in your district were massacred, a normal human being....
10....would research the topic before speaking. A normal human being - who said, after announcing his resignation, that he was running again because of a DIFFERENT mass shooting - would have learned about guns and gun policy long before.
There was a time I thought @marcorubio...
There was a time I thought @marcorubio...
11...could be the future of the Republican party. I was a fool. @marcorubio has the benefit of being sane, but his spineless subservience to his paymasters at the @NRA shows that he has no conviction, no knowledge, and no desire to learn. His performance on guns.....
12...should be an embarrassment -- to the @NRA! If their lobbyists and money can't buy more than a vote from @marcorubio, and leaves him as a "spokesman" who shows the depravity of those who talk gun policy without even knowing what guns are, they need to start using pure....
13...ventriloquist dummies. What good is buying a senator if he won't even prepare for his performance by reading your script? It's almost as if @marcorubio watches Fox News, kinda-sorta remembers what they said, then blathers out error-ridden comments, thus revealing that....
14...these NRA-bought-and-paid-for politicians are frauds. So, my advice, @marcorubio: Maybe you got through college and high school reading Cliff's Notes rather than books. But spinelessness and ignorance is not going to win the presidency. Do your work. And make decisions....
15...based on expert analysis, not from talking points that come from advocacy groups.
