Fear-monger Lou Dobbs and Bill Tucker are scared that President Obama's regulatory "czar", Cass Sunstein, is going to take away our guns.
Here's why:
DOBBS: And the czar here, Cass Sunstein -- I mean, what's his deal?
TUCKER: He's a vegetarian, and he believes that hunting ought to be banned.
DOBBS: So, he's not big on hunting.
TUCKER: He's not big on hunting at all. But he has openly supported the right of animals to sue. He believes animals ought to have rights...
DOBBS: I'm sorry, repeat that again?
TUCKER: He believes animals should have rights, which would include the right to sue if they have been mistreated.
DOBBS: If they were hunted.
TUCKER: Or I guess hunted.
DOBBS: If they were hunted -- really?
TUCKER: I can't explain it, Lou, I'm just telling you.
DOBBS: I just think we should let this sort of percolate, because, presumably, the president knows this man, knows who he put there...
TUCKER: Yes.
DOBBS: ... as the regulatory czar over guns. That's truly, truly interesting.

Cass Sunstein, the regulatory czar over guns? Not exactly.
Sunstein has been nominated to head up the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, whose role it is to review draft regulations under Executive Order 12866; additionally, "OIRA reviews collections of information under the Paperwork Reduction Act, and also develops and oversees the implementation of government-wide policies in the areas of information technology, information policy, privacy, and statistical policy."
Guns have NOTHING to do with the position.
_____
Apparently, guns can only be trusted with hunters and certainly not vegetarians/vegans!
Fuck off, Dobbs.
