Virginia, to be fair he asked for a moment of silence for the young slain in Moscow, Idaho, home of the University of Idaho Vandals, where four young people were slain with a knife.

Also there are proponents who insist they will use their weapons in case the wrong person is elected president by fomenting war. Liberals should not be allowed to hold office. They are not real Americans.
