I think the Senator is FOS and I think their part of it. That statement is a scare tactic to minimize numbers in their favor.

He mocks you, calls you illiterate rednecks and hillbilly. He truly believes he is your ruler.

I bet he says things like:
"these filthy rednecks are easily handled we'll put them down and make them pay"

I also bet he has the very guns he is trying to ban in his own home.

We need to take away the armed security from these politicians it is one of the things that makes them overconfident.
