James Comey Calls for More Gun Control, Bashes NRA ‘Lies'
2018-07-01
Not sure why we need to be hearing from this crooked bastid about much of anything.
[Breitbart] During an interview with the UK’s iNews, former FBI director James Comey called for more controls on the types of guns and sizes of ammunition magazines sold in the U.S. and suggested the NRA propagates "lies."
iNews quoted Comey indicating he is not for an all-out ban on private on gun ownership, but he does support making changes to current law, including an increase in the legal age for gun purchases.
he is not for an all-out ban on private gun ownership just yet
Comey said:
Surely there are things we can agree upon that relate to who’s able to buy a weapon, what kind of weapon and at what age, what the capabilities of the weapon are, how many rounds does it hold, and things like that, that in no way threaten the rights under the US constitution of people to keep and bear arms.

He criticized the NRA as standing in the way of securing these controls, saying, "One of the worst things that goes on in the US is the current voice of the National Rifle Association, because it sells fear in the wake of any incident." He specifically mentioned the NRA’s opposition to the gun controls which were pushed in the wake of the December 14, 2012, attack on Sandy Hook Elementary School.

#11  Comey? In Tom Clancy's techno thriller Rainbow Six they dropped off the bioterrorist bad guys in the Amazonian Jungle with no survival gear. Since Comey is Anti-Gun maybe we could try that with him...?

#6  Oh contraire! Replace lethal injections with the firing squad staffed by the jury.

Federal agents who lie to congress and think they are above congress must die by anti-aircraft fire.
