Paul Ryan tells the truth for a change - "President Obama is not proposing new gun laws."

Anyone else hear him say this yesterday?

Perhaps the Obama team should run a clip of this for voters in areas who are concerned about Obama taking their guns away, but might feel comfortable voting for him after hearing this.

But it's trashed, and I don't want to see any gun discussion outside of RKBA.

I don't care if Obama supports RKBA or not, it does not _AFFECT_ me, as a former gun owner who properly disposed of his two guns (.357 Magnum and a Glock) because while I support Amendment 2 as is, and the gun discussion here has already made me ill because it's too right-wing.

It's good to give credit where credit is due.

I also appreciate the way he replies to birthers with a copy of the President's birth certificate.

His beliefs are contemptible, but I admire his decision not to lie about these two issues. And if he tells the truth about his other beliefs... well, Thursday night will more than make up for last week.

2016? Does he see the writing on the wall, even with Romney's bounce, is he thinking that the virtuous "honest Ryan" needs to be the antithesis to Romney's extreme lying?
