Tweet by George W Bush:

I would ban the sales of guns to protect our kids…

 

Interesting Twitter account. Some people entirely taken in.

Better late than never! However, he could have done more to control gun sales and use during his two mandates.

A person who has had armed security most of his life, wants to take that right away from others.

 

No hypocrisy there.

I guess that the hard-wired romance and championing of all things militarism/soldiering/war/empire doesn't play a part within the deeply psychotic culture. 

Anyone did fact check this tweet?

The tweet is there, but doubt if by him, as don't even think he has a T account.  FB & IG yes, got sell them books, but Tw, doubtful.

That is a fair call.

But these assault weapons must be stopped.

Change is needed.

I can not recall the last time a Texas Govenor was shot.

The American solution is more weapons!

If the W tweet is genuine, well, think of it this way: he is no longer a previous president's idiot son, he is now a wise elder statesman.  Being out of active politics now, and having somewhat admitted to making a pig's breakfast of Iraq, he is now beyond having to kiss up to the NRA and other gun lobby forces.  The underlying human being emerges -- lets see if he breaks out in tears like McNamara.

I would also think his self-esteem was bolstered by what a disaster Jeb! (who, during W's administration was referred to as the smarter brother) turned out to be in the 2015-16 campaign.
