Message: <blockquote data-quote="Pokem807" data-source="post: 3195995" data-attributes="member: 7378"><p>This point reminded me of Marco Rubio going to that Parkland town hall meeting just a week after the shooting.  Once that father got in his face and repeatedly asked "were guns the factor?", Rubio wilted and said "of course they were".  That was a huge gift to the opposition, and there was no reason for Rubio to give it to them.  He should have known better than to put himself in that position.  Likewise, the NRA should have remained silent or at a minimum placed blame where it belonged.  Their statement was categorically wrong in that it placed some of the blame for the Vegas massacre on an inanimate object instead of the criminal who committed it.  Both the NRA and Rubio did harm to our cause by voluntarily moving that goalpost.</p></blockquote><p></p>
