Hunting and fishing? Enforce existing laws?
How about repealing some laws and rescinding some ATF regulations?
The firearms crime rate was lower when we could order Thompson subguns with 50 round mags through the mail.
Rick, would you pledge to sign HR 822 into law?
That means the WHOLE Constitution, not just this amendment or that clause.
If you choose to ignore or subvert ANY PART of it, you have forfeited your right to be in office, and should be tried for perjury at best, and treason at worst.
Saint Rick is going to need to go to confession after this one.

Santorum with a non-semi-auto, hunting.
“...more effective ways to stop gun violence, such as stricter enforcement of existing laws, than taking away the rights of law abiding gun owners.”
Sorry, that is a “richard-trip!”

I didn't have to think very hard to write that. It just came out. Why doesn't it just come out of him?

Santorum: “I also vehemently opposed the Assault Weapons Ban...”
Romney signed a permanent AWB (OOOooooooo, scary lookin guns!!!) while governor of Mass.
The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior. The best predictor of whether I would vote for Mittens is his past behavior.
