Yes, it's pandering to women. Implying that women are affected more by healthcare decisions because of rape is ignoring the fact that men are rape victims as well. By omitting those victims, by definition, he is pandering to women.

Then I apologize

You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about

If people are breaking the law, then absolutely, they need to be held accountable. Changing the law, however, won't make them compliant with the law. I feel we should have much stricter penalties and enforcement on people that break existing gun laws before we create a bunch of new ones. I don't mind any disagreement about this, but ambiguous terms like "assault weapon" make my blood boil, because they are terms used by those who should know better, to mislead people that don't. An example is Alan Grayson saying an AR-15 shoots 700 rounds a minute.

Also, you may not purchase "anything you can imagine." Automatic weapons are illegal to sell or purchase, without obtaining extremely expensive and rare permits.

At gun shows, a federally licensed gun dealer is not permitted to sell a firearm without a federal background check. Person to person sales are legal without background checks, but only to a person within the same state, and it is not permitted to sell a firearm to either someone they know or to someone to whom they have a belief will do harm. If you are "engaged in the business of selling firearms", you must obtain a federal firearm dealer's license. While that is a subjective term, people selling as few as two firearms have been convicted of illegally selling firearms. Those are the federal guidelines, states may have more stringent laws, but not more relaxed. The "gun show loophole" is misleading, at best.

So you're telling me that you can buy the equivalent of an AR-15 in a grocery store with no background check? That would be a felony on the part of the grocery store.

Actually, if you dared to read the study where only 1% of welfare recipients tested positive for drugs, it was because the study was voluntary. So, essentially they asked welfare recipients if they would volunteer, and a couple of people STILL tested properly survive.

Switch gears much? When your logic fails, just claim bigotry and hate, right?

Haha, are you naïve enough to believe liberal politicians care about these issues? Hint: they don't. They pander to their voting block and seize on the opportunity to make money off of the issue

it could be icing, but I think melted almond bark with green food coloring would be better

They had pipe bombs in addition to guns, not slingshots and knives. If they had only used pipe bombs, perhaps the disaster would have been greater.
