TERRY CAMP, reporter for WJRT-TV: "Does the country have a gun problem?" 

REP. PAUL RYAN: "This country has a crime problem." 

CAMP: "Not a gun problem?" 

RYAN: "No, if you take a look at the gun laws we have, I don't even think President Obama is proposing more gun laws. We have good, strong gun laws. We have to make sure we enforce our laws. We have lots of laws that aren't being properly enforced. We need to make sure we enforce these laws. But the best thing to help prevent violent crime in the inner cities is to bring opportunity to the inner cities, is to help people get out of poverty in the inner cities, is to help teach people good discipline, good character. That is civil society, that's what charities and civic groups and churches do to help one another, make sure they realize the value in one another." 

CAMP: "And you can do all that by cutting taxes? With a big tax cut?" 

RYAN: "Those are your words, not mine." 

RYAN SPOKESMAN: Thank you very much, sir. 

RYAN: "That was kind of strange, you're trying to stuff words in people's mouths?" 

CAMP: "Well, I don't know if it's strange." 

RYAN: "Sounds like you're trying to put answers to questions."

To be fair to Ryan I think the reporter was somewhat clumsy with his questioning at the end, however he WAS  correct in identifying that the ONLY solution that seems to have been offered by the Romney/Ryan camp, for seemingly every problem, is to cut taxes. Which is the premise for his "bring opportunity to the inner cities" comment.

The reporter's question may have come off as snarky, but it was not entirely baseless.

I am also somewhat confused by which gun laws are not being enforced that would have prevented the recent incidents of gun violence. The problem is that guns are WAY too accessible, way too powerful, and they are finding their way into the hands of people who should not have access to them.

The ONLY solution for that is too make buying guns, especially assault weapons, much more difficult.

Personally I think that this interview demonstrated that, number one, Paul has no solution for anything beyond cutting taxes, and two, he is a brittle little prick who does NOT like to be challenged.

I am guessing that Joe Biden will watch this video with a huge smile on his face.
