Harry Reid cites father’s suicide in gun debate
Politico ^ | 04/09/2013 | By GINGER GIBSON

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid again took the Senate floor to make a very personal plea on Tuesday morning for a vote on gun control legislation.

~snip~

“In Nevada, if you purchase a handgun, you have to wait three days to pick it up,” Reid said. “And it is believed that alone has saved the lives of many people. Sometimes people in a fit of passion will purchase a handgun to do bad things with it, Mr. President, even as my dad did — killed himself. Waiting a few days helps.”

“my dad did — killed himself”

Your father was a coward and psycho who didn’t have the guts to live his life. My dad wasn’t. Live with with it, you Nazi prick.

Be cool. We are bitchin about the treatment the Iron Lady received from the libs. Are we not just a bit better than the sleaze balls?

I hate to see anyone lose a father. Mine died when I was 14. I never had the chance to really know him. I still miss him!

He’s also an idiot (yeah, it goes without saying), because there’s no 3-day waiting period for the state of Nevada. In NV, everywhere but Clark county (Las vegas, primarily), you can go to the store/dealer, fill out the paperwork, and walk right out with your purchase.
