Unless it is reducing the waiting period to get a firearm

There shouldn't BE a waiting period or ANY federal law concerning guns for that matter.

or prohibiting lawsuits against firearm manufacturers

Please point out the section of the Constitution which enumerates the role of the government to prohibit lawsuits.

Unless it involves making it a crime to take a minor across State lines for an abortion or harming a fetus in the commission of a crime.

Ain't the federal government's role, broseph.

There is plenty to bust Paul's chops on. These two issues are not them.

But on the balance? He’s more of a Conservative than anyone left running in our party.

Unless you look at his full voting record as done by OnTheIssues or the American Conservative Union that both have him as moderate at best.

This should be good. Out of Rudy, John, Mitt and Mike, which of these stooges, in your opinion, is "more conservative" than Paul?

That is an interesting argument because, as the previous poster pointed out in praise that Paul did propose a bill to do just this with the "We the People Act”... which is it Constitutional or not to prohibit federal lawsuits?

Little thing called the equal protection clause of the Constitution (14th amendment), prohibits states from denying any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. In other words, the laws of a state must treat an individual in the same manner as others in similar conditions and circumstances. Authority to enforce this law falls under the legislative and judicial.
