(15,682 posts)except I believe it was a matter of ignorance on his part, not courage. He sounded so cocky making his point. I love that they turned it on him.
Thank you for posting this. I missed the Town Hall altogether but I have my DVR set to record it when it airs again tonight.

(89,252 posts)he was hung up on scoring debate points .
the only point he made was that they SHOULD BAN ALL of those weapons.
he doesn't get that the people there want to ban these weapons. in that clip he acted like it was some candidate debate for political office and he caught them .
but the people in the audience aren't there to support specific politicians. they are there to support a certain agenda and whoever will support it.
