I view EVERY politician through the lens of how they deal with my gun rights. If they are against my being able to carry, they’ll typically be against my other Constitutional rights as well and need to be thrown out the door into the trash heap pronto.

You nailed it. If a politician is willing to trample on your 2A rights, he will be more than eager to trample on other rights as well.

Never trust any politician who will not trust you with a gun. Period.

It really is the perfect litmus test.

“If you don’t trust ME as a Citizen, why in the hell would I trust YOU to make laws and give you any authority?”

They get to DC and they think they’re our Masters after a while. They are Public Servants. We are their employers, and they are nothing more than Temporary Hired Help. They forget that. We need to remind them at every opportunity - and sometimes, it’s by throwing them unceremoniously out of office on their asses when they get uppity.

People have been brainwashed into forgetting the true intent of the 2nd Amendment. As you well know, it’s to be able to ENFORCE that changeover of the hired help should it become necessary.
