Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley has amassed a large Twitter following for his often weird and sometimes nearly indecipherable tweets, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t wisdom to be found within for those willing to accept it. Grassley’s tweet was perfectly clear to us, but maybe his critics are right, and he’s actually suggesting the repeal of all laws.
@ChuckGrassley under that logic we should repeal murder statutes.

@ChuckGrassley sounds like "debate" will do no good for you, mind is already closed.

@ChuckGrassley You could replace "gun control" with "any law" in that statement. Are you arguing against laws in general?

@ChuckGrassley isnt that true of EVERY law?

@ChuckGrassley This is true of most laws, chuck. that doesn't mean they shouldn't exist.

@ChuckGrassley abandon all laws- only law abiding citizens obey them- absurd

.@ChuckGrassley By that logic, we shouldn't regulate speed limits on roads, either.

Turns out @ChuckGrassley is an anarchist. Law is an entirely ineffective way to regulate human behavior. @Repeal2A

@ChuckGrassley What other laws do you want removed because criminals don't follow them?
