...soft-spoken senator from South Carolina, former best buddy of John MaverickMcCain. Since McCain's demise, Graham has become more outspoken, more Republican and more of a supporter of President Trump. The speech he gave in support of Brett Kavanaugh was downright manly and really cheesed off the Dems...
(R-S.C.) has a very practical answer to that, which he offered to news hounds on Friday.
The New York Post:
Sen. Lindsey Graham knocked down the idea of banning semi-automatic weapons nearly identical to those used by soldiers on the off chance a hurricane slams into his South Carolina town.
"Here’s a scenario that I think is real: There’s a hurricane, a natural disaster, no power, no cops, no anything," the Republican politician told news hounds aboard Air Force One.
A news hound asked if he meant looters.
"Yeah, people, they’re not going to come to the AR-15 home," Graham responded. "Well, I think if you show up on the porch with an AR-15, they’ll probably go down the street."
That's a very sound point. No matter where you live, you can come up with a legitimate argument for owning an AR-15 for self-defense. Of course, no one ever wants to be in a situation where they have to, but the peace of mind is a gift.
