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

In making that picture.
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.
