Single Shot Weapon

Shorter Mitt Romney on gun control:

Guns don’t kill people; single moms kill people.

What he actually said:

Because if there’s a two parent family, the prospect of living in poverty goes down dramatically. The opportunities that the child will — will be able to achieve increase dramatically. So we can make changes in the way our culture works to help bring people away from violence and give them opportunity, and bring them in the American system.

That’s because white folks in the ‘burbs don’t kill other people, or shoot up high schools or movie theatres.

The dog whistles make my ears bleed.

PS: As Rick notes, Mr. Romney hasn’t always been such a staunch supporter of the 2nd Amendment.  But that doesn’t keep the NRA from backing him without question.

One bark on “Single Shot Weapon

  1. That really makes me angry. I am a single mom. Neither of my daughters have ever killed anyone, they are both wonderful, have good jobs and good hearts. They also plan to vote for Obama.
