GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE, OR DO THEY?

[HairOfTheDog]

Yes I did watch McConnell this morning on This Week. I also watched the show, I forget its name, after this week. In that segment they talked about McConnell's comments and their statement was that McConnell had no choice but to discuss what ever Obummer told them to. I believe they said that The president would decide what and when things would be discussed.

I didn't see the follow-up F.U., but it doesn't surprise me.

Of course it's Obama's call as to when gun control gets addressed, but I think that McConnell's comments about priorities and timing were accurate and not surprising. Key national budgetary issues remain in limbo, emotions have calmed a bit on the gun front, and a good portion of Congress would rather have solid well-researched gun control proposals to consider than hasty ones based in part on knee-jerk reactions (in my view).

Sounds like the second commenter wanted to make it clear that no one overrides Obama's authority, and/or the commenter is an enthusiastic gun control advocate who wants quick action and didn't like McConnell's statements.
