What's even MORE dangerous is "Congress is not moving fast enough. We need to hurry up and pass this [substitute name of bill here] NOW." Obama is famous for this type of rhetoric. The goal of course is to buffalo people into passing legislation without doing the due diligence in researching the issue and crafting the bill correctly, and then posting it AT LEAST 73 HOURS before it is scheduled to be voted on. Rand Paul had something to say about this recently on the floor of the senate, shaming his colleagues for going along with this kind of tripe.77346 wrote:this mentality of "something needs to be done, anything... please for the children" is quite dangerous...

I'm guessing he thinks that outlawing half of my financial investment in firearms will have virtually no impact on my rights.Vice President Joe Biden acknowledged that new gun laws would not "fundamentally alter" the likelihood of another mass shooting, though he insisted there has been a "sea change" in American views on guns in the wake of Newtown.
"Nothing we're going to do is going to fundamentally alter or eliminate the possibility of another mass shooting or guarantee that we will bring gun deaths down to 1,000 a year from what it is now," Biden told reporters Thursday afternoon after he spent over an hour lunching with Democratic senators at the Capitol.
