“So you don’t think in 25 plus years there would not have been something of value, something he felt he needed to do for his constituents, or the whole country that needed a legislative remedy? “
You answered your own question. He served about 25 years. Do you think his constituents would have re-elected him if they felt he did not offer constituent services, or speak on behalf of freedom, liberty and the Constitution?
“I surely do hope the Congress enacts legislation that makes the Second Amendment the RIGHT that it is for once and for all. “
Congress doesn’t legislate Constitutional rights, thankfully, or there wouldn’t be any left. They only limit them. You may have heard, Congress passes all kinds of legislation in violation of Article 1 Section 8. Would you consider that type of legislation to be “effective”?
Ron Paul, who ranted and raved and screamed the house down about PORK, did NOTHING, except mostly vote WITH the Dems AND Load up Bills, that he knew would pass, but which he voted against, with, wait for it...................PORK! LOL
“You answered your own question. He served about 25 years. Do you think his constituents would have re-elected him if they felt he did not offer constituent services, or speak on behalf of freedom, liberty and the Constitution?”
Actually the correct answer is that he bull$hitted his constituents into believing him. But that’s true for most of our long-tenured politicians. Each of them has some sort of a “hook” into their constituents that keeps them voting for them. A lot of the time it’s skin color or some other mark of discrimination. Then again is may simply be abject stupidity and self-absorption on the part of the constituents.
