The non-sequitur society
We don’t make sense but we sure like pizza
ATF’s Associate Deputy Director wrote a white paper on removing suppressors from the NFA and other pro-gun reforms. He appeared before congress to answer questions about what he wrote. And this happened:
Do you represent the NRA? asked Representative Gerald Connelly, a Virginia Democrat, his voice rising. Or do you represent the American people at the ATF?
Turk began to answer, but Connelly cut him off.
I represent victims from Virginia Tech, Connelly said, referencing a 2007 mass shooting at the university. We buried 6 young people. And I couldnt explain to them why an ATF representative might think that legalizing silencers might be a good idea.
What does anything in that word salad have to do with anything else in that word salad?

Well senator, Your Gun Free Kill Zones are working as designed no?

Well, I see someone (Rep. Connelly) has taken courses from the Up-Chuck Schumer school of congressional questioning. I mean why wait for an answer to a question when you can interject your own fallacious answer or statement.
Now all he needs to do is take a couple of courses from the Hillary Clinton school of Power Abuse and the Carlos Danger school of Photography and he will be the Democrat trifecta.

How can he explain anything to people who were dead and buried?
When I attended Virginia Tech I kept a rifle in my dorm room. When we’d go shooting on the weekends, I’d simply shoulder it and walk out to my car with it. Nobody ever batted an eye.. it just wasn’t a big deal.

And as a Democrat he got all of those dead people to vote for him.

Todd, Connelly could teach at the Clinton school of Power Abuse.
This is the same Fairfax, VA politico who was arrested for hit-and-run and pulled in political favors to get himself acquitted by a County judge.
Connelly actually argued (no-shit) that the importance of his position (at the time Fairfax County Supervisor), caused him to become unaware of what was going on in his car (that he was driving).
So Fairfax Judge lets off the Fairfax Supervisor. Talk about your good ol’ boys network!

@Ravenwood
Then, I stand corrected. Sounds like he has the correct credentials to become the next DNC presidential candidate.
