This is a man to lead the opposition to Barack Obama!
"House committees of jurisdiction will review these recommendations," a spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner said in response to Obama's announcement. "And if the Senate passes a bill, we will also take a look at that."
I don't know about you guys but I get a Chris Matthews like tingle up my leg! What a forceful defense of the Second Amendment and the values of Repubican and conservative voters across the country! This is the guy I want out there as the face of conservatism!
Marco Rubio did better.
In written statement, Rubio says he'll "oppose the President’s attempts to undermine Americans’ Constitutional right to bear arms.
“Guns are not the problem; criminals with evil in their hearts and mentally ill people prone to violence are." Sen. Marco Rubio, F-FL
Via @slublog, Rick Perry did even better.
"In fact, the piling on by the political left, and their cohorts in the media, to use the massacre of little children to advance a pre-existing political agenda that would not have saved those children, disgusts me, personally. The second amendment to the Constitution is a basic right of free people and cannot be nor will it be abridged by the executive power of this or any other president."

True, but in this case sending it to the committees and or many different committees allows it to lay there until just before the nest elections. Regular order mr boneyer.
Don't you guys get it? Boner is right along with all the RINO establishment like Bill Kristol. This isn't the time to stand up and fight just like the the budget deal and the debt ceiling. We need to wait till some other time. Then we can really fight. Just not today. Don't want to make waves.
