With the gun control debate still raging, Congressman John Tierney appeared on Broadside with Jim Braude on NECN this week to voice his opinions.
The interview can be viewed here.
Tierney expressed support for gun owners in general -- with restrictions -- but seemed to scoff at the notion of briging the NRA into discussions about gun control.
"These guys are making a lot of money, they need a conflict," Tierney said. "They need something to keep themselves going and be out there advocate for, but they certainly don't speak for most reasonable people."

From now on, only reasonable people are allowed into public discussions and John Tierney gets to decide who the reasonable people are.
