-Let me start with a daily watch, rather than read … I have to admit I would not make for a good politician. I can’t believe how people like Newsom don’t get angrier than this. The important point he makes is that events like yesterday in San Jose, which happen in the US on a regular basis don’t happen in other places.

But this simple logic seems to be too complicated to understand for all the second amendment fanatics.
