As is their custom, the guns "r" us guys and gals have sent a questionnaire to legislative candidates to learn where they stand on firearms issues.

Leaders of Gun Owners of America, a National Rifle Association affiliate, will grade the responses, and voters will be alerted as to which side of the Great Gun Divide a given candidate comes down.

Once again the intellectually dense attempt to shift the focus toward inanimate objects.>>>

yep, then using the same logic we should outlaw cars too, since it's the cars who kill 60K people per year and when one is writing with a pencil and makes a mistake, it must be the pencil's fault too.

It seems that people in NJ want their rights taken away since they tend to elect gun grabbers into office. And for those who "claim" to be for the 2nd amendment, you don't see them introducing any legislation for gun rights.

None of those who believe in the RTKABA believes that guns are "sacred" so he gets that wrong, too. Nice convenient distorted lie though.

So foolish, yet so brazen. It is obvious to any one without an axe to grind that the GOP is far superior to the RATs on the 2d amendment, even if it is not perfect. Merely because it has not implemented ALL your goals doesn't make that untrue.

Could you imagine a RAT Attorney General claiming that the 2d amendment was an INDIVIDUAL right like Ashcroft? I must have slept through the times Janet made that claim.

All my goals hell. Just following the Constitution would be a heck of a nice start.

Is that now too much to ask?

But, but, but... that would make us a constitutional republic!

I know. Sorry. But the power brokers and lawyers put out of work by such a maneuver would just have to find real work. Like maybe opening a dry cleaners or a car wash. You know, something productive for once.

The idea of Tommy Daschle asking if I would like to up-size my fries puts a smile on my face. Tancredo, Paul... maybe a couple of others. The rest should be picking up garbage off the highway.

Believe it or not, apparently Howard Dean is pro-second amendment and an NRA advocate.

The second half of Ashcroft's remark was that he saw no need for the SCOTUS to hear the Bean case.

Imprisoning an American in the US, without trial, for posssession of shotgun shells in Mexico is Treason as far as I'm concerned.

Not to mention the BATF's continued harassment of FFL holders. Bush's promise to re-sign the AWB should it reach his desk.

Nope. Sorry. The 2A is one heck of a good yardstick to meassure up a candidate with. Ron Paul has his head wired on straight for that one.

So how's Socialist appeasement working out in Chicago these days?

I went no further than this statement. Why waste time reading anything else he "thinks?"

Republicans are scarcer than hen's teeth in Chicago.

Seems, HE doesn't know too much and should do a bit more research before he writes.

Yep, it's all about our rights. Bratton is a democrat so he has to keep in line with the party spin.
