Banning guns is an idea whose time has come.

Look, freedom is an overwhelming American notion. The idea that we want to see the world, the peoples of the world free is something that all of us subscribe to.

In the middle of a recession, where we're just climbing out of it, where the economy -unemployment is still at 9.7 percent, the idea of raising taxes and reducing spending is a prescription for disaster.

Every single great idea that has marked the 21st century, the 20th century and the 19th century has required government vision and government incentive.
