"I was going to go down and take care of this problem right after I got this gun."
— Republican presidential candidate Rep. Tom Tancredo, in a telephone interview after the hostage situation at Hilary Rodham Clinton's campaign office ended. Tancredo was on his way to a scheduled stop at a gun store in New Hampshire, where he was picking up a handgun he had ordered.
— Stephen Dinan, national political reporter, The Washington Times

Is the blog implying or is Tom Tancredo implying that he is going to take care of the problem with the gun? Either way, if those were his exact words, it is an irresponsible statement.

Well, it's refreshing to hear a man talk like a man. We've been so over-feminized that Tancredo's comments probably seem over-the-top to most, but I find them to be a welcome reminder of the day when we were far less accomodating and accepting of criminal behaviour.
