(1,401 posts)11. Their current proposal in Congress is not to arm the Syrian opposition
The current proposal is to conduct air strikes against the Syrian government and military. You seem to confuse the fact that some people do not agree with your proposals regarding gun use and ownership with a lack of concern about gun violence. One can oppose the current "War on Drugs" and still care about drug abuse. One can believe that MADD is overreaching in it's campaign against drunk driving and still care about the impact drunk driving has on society. One can oppose the government monitoring phone calls without first getting a warrant and be opposed to terrorism.
