I have no say in Obama's positions.
I do have a say in what passes for "republican."

So do all "r's."
and getting support from the GOA or NRA IS contingent on positions one takes on registration, licensing and right to carry, apart from government permissions.

What one says in public regarding such things impacts donations to their cause and votes. It's common sense.

licensing like cars require, is an infringement.
never thought that was a debatable item around here.

whatever... I guess my position on that doesn't matter anymore. have fun is all I can say.

wow.

And don't you come back until the day after Keyes loses!

Remember, it will still be a "moral" victory if Keyes gets 35%!

And when you come back, you must leave again if Keyes runs for any other office, until he loses again.

Well, how about jumping to conclusions. This reporter is not quoting Keyes precisely, he's paraphrasing and inserting his own anti-Republican, anti-Keyes, anti-second amendment spin. And the Keyes bashers here are adding their own anti-Keyes spin and embellishing on the reporters bias.

Here, I'll add my own pro-Keyes conclusions: I think Keyes is talking about arming and training a well trained, ie, a well regulated militia, as a response to the terrorist threat. Looks like an entirely new program and it has no bearing at all on the personal right to keep and bear arms that he supports 100% in the above quote:

"I always remind -- even people who support the Second Amendment -- that it has two parts: the right to keep and bear" arms, Keyes said. " 'Bear' means to carry, to carry around. . . . I think it has been proven empirically that . . . allowing law-abiding citizens this access to conceal-carry actually reduces crime."
