From what I’ve read, Rahm Emanuel had a big hand in recruiting pro-RKBA Democrat candidates to run for Congress, and making sure they won. His presence as White House Chief of Staff, and ties to pro-RKBA congresscritters he helped put in office, may ensure that new and more onerous “gun control” laws remain the pipe dream of a small, weak minority.

I think you are full of sh**, to put it bluntly. Please name the Pro 2nd amendment people that this POS helped get elected. Give me a speech or some quote in which he says he stands for the 2nd. In other words please give some evidence of what you say you've "read". That's kind of like an anonymous source, so let's see the facts not just something you read.

I never said he “stands for the 2nd”. But it’s been widely reported that he pissed off a lot of gun-grabbers when he was running the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee in 2006 and recruited and promoted pro-RKBA candidates. I have no reason to believe that he has any principles at all, on this issue or any other. But he apparently identified “gun control” as a losing issue that had been a drag on Democrats running for elective office, and determined that running pro-RKBA candidates was an important part of a strategy to regain Democrat control of the House.

“Gun control” is still a losing issue, and I expect he’ll firmly remind any Democrat who needs reminding, to shut up about gun control already. I’m also quite sure he doesn’t give a crap about all the widdle chilldrun (up to age 24) that the Brady Bunch is always wailing about getting killed by guns. He’d probably be happy to kill them all himself, if it would help keep him and his cronies in power.

In short, he seems like the sort of lemon that may be good for making lemonade.
