This grates has my nerves more than anything. There is no such thing as an assault weapon until it is used in the assault of another person. Anything can be an assault weapon.
Second, I love how he redirects when Hey ask if he will overturn past decisions or whether he would force the prez to respond to a subpoena. He used precedent to point out that others have refused to answer hypotheticals in nomination hearing and he was going to do the same.
News flash, he is smarter than most people if not all the people in that room.
I like the Swiss personally...highest per capita gun ownership in the world (at least a few years ago).
Anyway, my point was that this is a lot like social security reform...it's the third rail. Obama did nothing of substance on gun-control...Trump has done more to restrict gun owner's rights. The closest thing we've had to sweeping gun control was Clinton's ban and that was done away with by what most of y'all consider a raging moderate in GWB.

The circus at the hearings yesterday was orchestrated by Chuckie on a phone call over the holiday weekend. It was all planned. It's stupid that our government has come to this because at the end of the day, no democrat is going to vote "yes" for this nominee. It all comes to party politics, which is ironic after all of the call of bipartisanship and civility by democrats over weekend at McCain's funeral.
They complain about the documents released, and more documents have been released regarding this nominee than the last 5 judges combined.
Bottom line, democrats have relied on the court system for decades to get their agenda through because they have been unable to get anything passed through the current legislative process. Having the Supreme Court and Federal Courts shift conservative is extremely troubling for progressives as that has been their safety net.
You guys are getting awfully worked up over some silly confirmation hearings. #triggered
Hopefully there'll be more Trump nominees in "silly confirmation hearings" soon.
As for being "worked up" I haven't seen any screaming, ranting, irrational conservative protestors shouting "VOTE YES!" "VOTE YES! and then being summarily dragged out in cuffs. Who's "worked up?"

"assault rifles" are very rarely used in crimes and would have very little if any effect on crime rate.
Banning assault rifles doesn't accomplish anything of value other than reducing the arms of law abiding citizens.
The next push would be to remove hand guns and/ or hunting rifles and shotguns. If you can create a path to remove "assault rifles" from citizens then you may be able to use that precedent to remove other types of guns.
That's the idea anyway.
