I asked him the three questions I quoted above. No answers. I asked why a pistol grip would make a gun "more lethal," to quote the Senator. No answer. I then offered to rub his shiny cranium with cocoa butter, to which I received no answer.
Just kidding on that last one.
His responses are educational.
NRA? Tool of the gun lobby. Hi-capacity magazines? Ban 'em because smaller ones will slow rampage shooters down. "Assault" weapons? Constitutional to ban on the grounds of social utility. And, of course, the old standby of "if it only saves one life."
He's been given his talking points, and he's sticking to them.
