At a Yuma town hall Wednesday, McCain was asked about the ATF's Fast and Furious program, and of course he said heads should roll, as high up the chain of command as possible. But then he decided to adlib, and by mistake, good sense came out.
. . . also we have to make sure that something like this never happens again. It should not be so easy for these people to come and buy guns in the United States and send them down to Mexico.”
Even when he tried to wrap himself in the Second Amendment, he still made the mistake of making sense.
“I am a staunch advocate of the second amendment — don't get me wrong I have a perfect record from the NRA — but we need to do what we can to make sure someone can't come to a gun show or some place and exploit a loophole.”
McCain has done this before, made a reasonable statement, only to buckle under pressure.
Who will administer McCain's spanking first. The NRA? Rush Limbaugh?
