Larry Craig has been a very effective opponent of gun control legislation throughout all of his several terms as Senator from ID. He is now publicly shamed and discredited throughout the US by the MSM because of his alleged lewd and perverted behavior in that air terminal restroom, and rightfully so if he is guilty of soliciting homosexual sex acts.

OTOH, very little is heard or seen in the MSM about the 11, yes eleven, virulently anti-gun NJ politicians who were recently discovered to be some of the most corrupt, dishonest, venal public officials in the state's recent history, and that's saying a lot when the state is NJ. Crimes worthy of 20 year prison sentences go unreported or scarcely reported while a misdemeanor worth a $100 fine commited by a pro-gun rights Senator is hashed and rehashed endlessly on every major MSM outlet in the US.

It couldn't just be that the American MSM use a blatant double standard for passing judgment on corrupt public officials when it comes to pro-gun and anti-gun lawmakers, or could it??

No surprises to any student of history (ancient or modern). The same sort of politicians who tend towards corruption are the same characters who fear and distrust ordinary citizens.

I am as pro gun as you can get but very anti NRA. I have seen them in action and they are bullies and bullies. They demand their way or no way and if you dare cross them, you are “anti gun.” Well, I am anti NRA and still own guns and believe the 2nd Amendment deals with individual gun rights, not government gun rights.

If we don’t have guns, we can’t fight back.
