Never said I did not understand.
Apologies for implying you didn’t. That was not my intent
Agreed, we need to sacrifice some RINO's so Democrats don't take over the Republican party.
Right & Duty To Keep & Bear Arms.
Those who doubt Washington's wisdom, should study Swiss crime statistics, as a multi-century long demonstration of his point. (Or, at least let's talk about it.)
I hope you will call his office and let his staff know what a coward and a traitor he is. They don’t take calls from people outside their states.
Not any good ones since Senator Helms retired
When we had Helms in the Senate and guys like Phil Crane and Larry McDonald in the House we has some hardcore conservatives that we could really count on. Nowadays, we have lots of Republicans but few strict-constructionist conservatives. The internet helped break up the power of Big Media but we’re having a difficult time getting really strong people elected.
How the the Anti-gun groups plan to do it, they spilled their guts in a magazine interview back in 1976. They tried to walk this back but it was too late.
From 1976.

Im convinced that we have to have federal legislation to build on. Were going to have to take one step at a time, and the first step is necessarily given the political realities going to be very modest.
Of course, its true that politicians will then go home and say, This is a great law. The problem is solved. And its also true that such statements will tend to defuse the gun-control issue for a time.
So then well have to strengthen that law, and then again to strengthen that law, and maybe again and again. Right now, though, wed be satisfied not with half a loaf but with a slice. Our ultimate goal total control of handguns in the United States is going to take time.
My estimate is from seven to ten years. The problem is to slow down the increasing number of handguns sold in this country. The second problem is to get them all registered. And the final problem is to make the possession of all handguns and all handgun ammunition except for the military, policemen, licensed security guards, licensed sporting clubs, and licensed gun collectors TOTALLY ILLEGAL.

Yes, Im for an outright ban [on handguns].

HCI, around 1984, suddenly made a grab for the semi-auto rifles and shotguns, and missed But they showed their hand. As a result all gun owners know we are always up against a stacked deck.
NEVER GIVE AN INCH!
Giving up a few gun rights is like throwing the baby to the wolves in hopes of the wolves eating you last.
“Civil rights”? From an org calling itself conservative?
Sheesh.
Great... another flake?
He's the guy who flipped the seat held by Joe Donnelly in 2018.

Except for smoking marijuana, of course, because THAT smoke is absolutely harmless < /s>
Indeed. I always say the country was a better place when many people smoked. That’s not a comment about how wonderful smoking is. It’s a comment about how far the Nanny State has come, trying to micromanage every aspect of your life. IMO, smoking was where they kicked everything up a notch, and they haven’t slowed down since.
Exactly. Incrementalism. They are masters of it! I’m with you, not one single inch! Not one! Good find.
What an idiot, you cannot compromise with the democrats on anything. He needs to resign.
I do not comply
