On an intellectual level, yeah maybe. But don't you feel the NRA has become such a stronghold on the issue the whole "Don't tread on me" and "From my cold dead hands" type of mindset kicks into overdrive whenever there's talk of it? It seems they promote the thought that the slightest limitation of ANY gun, becomes a slippery slope into taking away all guns.
Supposedly gun sales and NRA donations rise during these times as well. The white nationalists & seperatists in northern Idaho & Montana etc will be having a field day on their Facebook pages over this one.
Yeah, but it really is a minority opinion, even inside the NRA. The NRA is a business who uses hyperbole and nonsense to increase membership and generate more money for the Wayne. And will say it doesn't help with the repeal the second amendment talk gets seized on.

Mueller does seem a little contaminated to me... I am sure he is a great guy, but, can he really be objective when he was Comey supporter and was basically hand picked by Comey in a way, etc... He seems to be surrounded by people against trump.. I know you can't find someone totally objective, and he may be.... This was all an inside job by Comey.. I don't know.. Something seems off.

No, I don't. Comey was a republican investigating Hillary and was praised by Trump and Sessions for that bullshit letter he wrote and you gladly posted about. You can't have it both ways. The Administration praised Mueller to the point of wanting him to head the FBI. Not until Trump realized that Mueller was actually going to go forward with his investigation did he suddenly become the bad guy on FOXnews and talk radio and right wing blogs.

I didn't say Mueller was bad, but that he may not be totally objective and feel his friend Jim Comey was wronged etc.

Maybe they should have just let him finish his investigation then and not bad mouthed the entire FBI and Comey and not lied about why he was fired?
If he's not going to be fair and conduct the investigation properly that means he's bad. And his investigation will likely fall apart. The whole reason there's an obstruction investigation is squarely on Trump.

I was in Moscow last week-end, enjoying a brief vacation (beautiful city by the way, I'd recommend a visit if you ever have the chance). I found the following display in one of the many, many souvenir shops on Arbat Street (apologies for the quality of the pic, my phone's lens is badly scratched):
I just thought it was funny, not saying this means anything of course...

It's hard to tell what that stuff is...
It looks like one of those giant tins of carmal corn I used to get as a kid.
