Would you have any Grey Poupon?

The California democrat congressperson who got carried away with his misunderstood authority and tweeted the government will use nukes on Second Amendment sisters and brothers is what brought that Grey Poupon commercial to mind.

I like the truth about guns response.

It also appears to be a good time to reinforce the point I made last month about the First Amendment rights of families and friends of crime victims being restricted until they have recovered from their grief to the point they are no longer a danger to our Constitutional protections.

As fate would have it, Thousand Oaks, CA was the site of another shocking crime and the legislative director of the coalition to stop gun violence was sought out for his opinion. The Washington Post asked him about his feelings.

…“I don’t want to say I don’t always get emotional, because I always get rocked, but this feels so personal,” he said.

He’s used to days like this.

In his role as legislative director for the CSGV, Christian Heyne works on enacting laws that prevent gun deaths. He also works as a survivor’s advocate, bringing him in constant contact with mourning relatives and friends. Less than two weeks earlier, Robert Gregory Bowers entered Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh and shot and killed 11…

…“When your life revolves around death, I worry about that a lot,” [Tim] Heyne said of his son Thursday. “I ask him how he’s doing with it, but he knows he’s saving lives. . . . No one is ever going to end gun violence. All you can hope to do is reduce it.”…

…“I’ve spent more time crying today than I usually do,” Christian Heyne said. “Borderline . . . I’ve been to wedding receptions there. My high school reunion was there. This is different. I feel anxious. I feel lost. I am also very resolved in reaching out to everyone — legislators, survivors, everyone — and I’m determined not to let this moment slip away.”

Sounds like Christian has not quite regained the balance one would expect from a lobbyist working with congress against our Constitution.

Then again, maybe he did.

As a citizen, do you feel safer now?
