WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Mark Kirk notified his Illinois constituents via Twitter this week that he's parting yet once again with his Republican colleagues, this time to side with gun control advocates.
Kirk believes if you're on the no-fly list, you shouldn't be able to buy a gun, he said.
Wonder if he would have said that to the late Senator Ted Kennedy, Congressman John Lewis, singer Cat Stevens, CNN's Drew Griffin and Stephen Hayes of the Weekly Standard? They were all at one time or another on the no-fly list.
And it's nearly impossible to get a name off the list once it's on. Certainly Senator Kirk's staff told him all about that.
