Another 'Maggie's Drawers'
On Friday, June 19, 2015, at the annual Conference of U. S. Mayors, Barack Obama repeated his push for gun control.
“I know today’s politics makes it less likely that we take a stand on serious gun safety legislation. I remarked that it is very unlikely that this Congress would act, and some reporters, I think, took this as resignation. I want to be clear—I am not resigned. I have faith we will eventually do the right thing. I was simply making the point that we have to move public opinion."
His use of the personal pronoun aside, what Obama seems to be missing is the fact that "today's politics" understands that we, as a nation, are capable of having "serious gun safety" without "legislation" that infringes on people's civil right to keep and bear arms...
Missing — as in "Maggie's Drawers."
