Dingell, for all his faults, has been a solid NRA and gun rights supporter. He invented the term “jack booted thug” to describe the ATF. Granted, he was parroting his constituents and probably would have been a weenie otherwise.

NO HE HASEN’T! He resigned his position on the NRA board of directors to vote FOR Clinton’s Assault Rifle Ban!
NEVER FORGET!
Ben Nighthorse Campbell also voted for the ban.
oh, I wouldn’t ever argue that Dingell is the WORST Dem (tho he has kinda gone with the leftist flow), and actually has (or had) some positive positions, but my response was about the way rights and laws are interpreted in a Blue Haven like MI. Rights an Alabaman or Virginian may take for granted in protecting himself and his property are not necessarily so in the Dem-controlled Rust Belt.
