Mitch McConnell Gun Control Email: You're 'Literally Surrounded,' They're 'Coming For Your Guns'

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/01/21/mitch-mcconnell-gun-control_n_2519920.html

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) addressed supporters in a frantically toned email on Monday, warning them of a looming effort to snatch up their guns.

"You and I are literally surrounded. The gun-grabbers in the Senate are about to launch an all-out-assault on the Second Amendment. On your rights. On your freedom," reads the opening of the email, according to The Hill.

"[T]hey're coming for your guns," the email exhorts.

Last week, President Barack Obama unveiled a comprehensive set of initiatives meant to combat gun violence. Alongside 23 executive actions, Obama also announced his intention to press congressional lawmakers to introduce a set of measures, including a renewed assault weapons ban and restriction on large-capacity ammunition magazines.

Orin Hatch says children are in short supply and Mitch McConnell says they are not shooting enough of them. Yes, the GOP is in disarray.

But I don't see the resemblance to a turtle, however, I do see a resemblance to Willard the Rat. Just my opinion.
