"Twenty-eight percent (28%) of Democrats say Americans should be prohibited by law from belonging to pro-gun rights organizations like the NRA, a view shared by 15% of Republicans and 10% of uanffiliateds."
Gerald: [the other men protest] Now gentlemen, Mr. Butler has been up North I hear. Don't you agree with us, Mr. Butler? Rhett: I think it's hard winning a war with words, gentlemen. Charles: What do you mean, sir? Rhett: I mean, Mr. Hamilton, there's not a cannon factory in the whole South. Man: What difference does that make, sir, to a gentleman? Rhett: I'm afraid it's going to make a great deal of difference to a great many gentlemen, sir. Charles: Are you hinting, Mr. Butler, that the Yankees can lick us? Rhett: No, I'm not hinting. I'm saying very plainly that the Yankees are better equipped than we. They've got factories, shipyards, coalmines... and a fleet to bottle up our harbors and starve us to death. All we've got is cotton, and slaves and... arrogance. Man: That's treacherous! Charles: I refuse to listen to any renegade talk! Rhett: Well, I'm sorry if the truth offends you.
Yeah, I saw that too.
