Washington (CNN)Retired U.S. Army Gen. David Petraeus, who has long resisted calls to run for political office, is teaming up with retired NASA astronaut Mark Kelly to create a new group urging greater gun control. The two announced on Friday that they were launching Veterans Coalition for Common Sense to encourage elected leaders to "do more to prevent gun tragedies." The group will feature veterans from every branch of the military who are urging lawmakers to toughen gun laws, the organization said in a news release.

Actually I don’t; I was merely making the point that I don’t think people like Petreus get it that even IF they go against the Constitution to ban guns, criminals can still make them.

Thus he is either naïve, stupid, or anti-Constitution. Given his other pro-globalist views, I’m inclined to think the latter.

So Petraeus is bad with secrets and against the 2nd Amendment too?

POS.

Can’t be trusted to handle classified data. Can’t be trusted to keep his gear in his trowsers. Doesn’t understand the most fundamental part of the Constitution. Yeah, he’s a great candidate for a position in the Trump administration. Not likely to be any downstream problems with him </sarc>.

Yep... hate to say it, but I’d prefer Romney over Petreus.

Well as a former SGT who worked his way up to WO, I would agree.

I know what the words are, but “gun free zones” are NOT “killer free zones”

Agreed.
I’ll be more accurate in the future.
Thanks

Petraeus should learn to control his own “gun”.
