James Inhofe: Gun Debate Has Nothing To Do With Families Of Newtown Victims

WASHINGTON -- Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.) said Tuesday that the gun control debate doesn't have anything to do with the families of the Newtown, Conn., shooting victims, and that the only reason those families think it does is because President Barack Obama told them it did.

Eleven family members of Newtown victims were in Washington on Tuesday, meeting privately with senators to urge them to support a forthcoming gun package that would impose tighter background checks, crack down on gun trafficking and enhance school safety measures. Speaking to a handful of reporters, Inhofe said he feels bad for those families because they're being used as pawns in a political fight.

"See, I think it's so unfair of the administration to hurt these families, to make them think this has something to do with them when, in fact, it doesn't," Inhofe said.

When it was suggested that the families of Newtown victims actually believe the gun debate pertains to them, Inhofe said, "Well, that's because they've been told that by the president."

4. If every American has the right to own a gun

...then every American has a right to join the debate over gun control. That includes those with negative experiences.

Really tired of these rw assholes and their brazen attempts to exclude anyone who doesn't agree with them.

5. Yeah, I heard the tape of him telling that to a reporter...

we say to ourselves, "jeez, what a standard Republican asshole." My take on it is that if that tape were EVER to make it to the 6 o'clock national News, the FURY directed at this man by the general Public would reach nearly Apocalyptic levels. It was THAT crass.

Bought and paid for.
