20 Reasons Why Ron Paul Sucks

via Mad Mike's America, telling me what I already knew but was trying to forget because I like the "ending the wars" idea. But one of the twenty points convinced me.

12. He is a gun nut. Our eyebrows are already raised by anyone who claims that having firearms is a “God-given right”, like Ron Paul does. But he doesn’t stop there. He wants to repeal the legislation that requires a background check when you buy a new gun — you know, to make sure you’re not, say, a  fugitive from justice, a violent offender, or currently stalking someone. Back when there actually was a ban an assault weapons, he was, of course, against the ban. And now that there isn’t, he wants to make sure Obama doesn’t get the chance to bring a new one in.

What do you think? Is it time I have to let go of my unrealistic hopes about Ron Paul?

But, but, but the other guys are so bad and he does oppose the wars.

Gun Adoration Get-together in New Mexico

Las Cruces Sun-News reports

Thousands of area firearms collectors, enthusiasts and hunters perused and purchased antique pistols, hunting gear, a gold-finished rifle and more during the Sunrise Lions Club's annual Gun Show at the Las Cruces Convention Center on Saturday.

Those are the same type of cotton gloves used to handle a Stradivarius violin or a parchment with Cleopatria's diary written on it. Are these gun fetishists a riot or what?

In Georgia It's All About Guns

The NYT reports

In every state where he campaigns, Newt Gingrich weaves local issues into his stump speech, and in Georgia he aimed at a sweet spot: “Let’s be clear what this election is all about,” he told supporters. “We believe in the right to bear arms, and we like to bear the arms in our trucks.”

His audience burst into laughter and applause. Mr. Gingrich repeated the line during two days of Georgia rallies on Friday and Saturday, where he met large, enthusiastic crowds, including at his final event at a hotel here where teenage cheerleaders, in town for a competition, stood on one another’s shoulders at the back of the room to be able to see.

I hate it when politicians pose for the camera with family members, especially guys like Newt. And I hate it when they pander to the local yokels by saying what they want to hear.

Illinois Homepage reports

The Champaign County Rifle Association said it wanted to help a teenage mother who was put in a difficult position. An Oklahoma mother shot and killed a man who broke into her home on New Years Eve.

Police took 18-year-old Sarah McKinley's shotgun as evidence. Guns Save Life President, John Boch, said he and other members in Champaign County, were moved by her story and didn't want her to be without a defense. The group raised about $500 and bought her a new shotgun.

We discussed this story before,did we all agree it was an example of a good clean DGU?

Voter Registration NRA Style

via Ammo Land, where apparently they think there are more non-registered potential voters among gun-rights folks than among the lefty gun controllers. What do you think?



I wonder how much members' money the NRA is going to waste this time in another vain attempt to defeat Obama? Do you think there's racism at the bottom of all?
