Well, ok. The key word being "some." That is, some have voting records. However, the vast majority are at very low capacity posts. They may have a record that implies they would vote a certain way, but we will never know, unless of course the break out of their slumber. After all this time? Anything possible.

Difficult to judge someone's voting record on RKBA in many cases. Abscence/prescence of a voting record at the local, state level doesn't mean too much, unless important issues of RKBA came along

As for Barr voting for all that other stuff? It would have passed anyway. He was one of the few that went after Klinton early on. Thus, he earned their hatred and now they are trying to pay him back. First gerrymandering his District so he must face Linder. Then a massive spending campaign. Will it be enough to trash him? Why help the Dems?

As for Perot? Sure $$ can't hurt. However, LP just wasn't connecting in 1992 (still ain't). He came along and BOOM! Perhaps if/when LP gets a strong candidate? Certainly not Harry Browne. He still thinks Ho Chi Minh was a democrat.

IMO? LP should work to gain strength in Republican Party via Liberty Cmte. Mechanism already in place. It is well known that if LP is going to draw additional voters, they will come from the Republican Party in most cases. Does the DNC have a "Liberty Cmte." (Libertarians) in their ranks?

Lastly, back to GA. B. Barr is supported by GOA/NRA and conservatives everywhere. The Georgia militia supports him. I hate to see him get tossed over the side for something we know will never pass (in GEORGIA?HA!) and that is, legalization or even decrease in prosecutions of drug offenses. Just won't happen. We are a nation at war. Such things get put on the back burner in times like these.

Felons on the streets can cost taxpayers up to $400K per annum via their crimes. At $30 per annum to "house" them? We are getting a bargain...

I'm forced to ask what felons are doing on the street and why they're not in prison.

Of course, if you consider felons to include non-violent drug offenders then of course the thing to do is decriminalize drugs so the criminal black-market in drugs and gang warfare will go away. Then it will cost neither $400k or $30k. It will free up hundreds of thousands of prison cells in which to put violent criminals like murderers, rapists, and child molesters.
