To publicly state that you are a lifetime anything, but have only validated your membership in an organization the previous year is so contrived. Why does someone have to join anything?
And the one poster is right, the second amendment is not about the right to hunt varmits. Its about a citizen militia armed against internal and external government tyranny.
Looks like his flip-flopping, and poor pressers are starting to make him out to be a phony. And what is sad is he is one of the declared front runners. We are scraping the barrel.
This is going to be a long campaign. By next February the Clinton/Obama ticket will be singing Kumbaya, and the Republican Eight will still be preening and competing to see who can appear most conservative while still attracting the moderate voters.
I would have more respect for the guy if he didn’t join the NRA and never mentioned hunting. Very simple. I don’t own any guns other than a BB gun. I’m not into hunting other than plinking squirrels in the backyard. Even though I don’t own guns, but I have no interest whatsoever in taking away anyone elses right to own them, be it for self-defense or hunting. Done, no big deal. I hate when politicians pander, especially when it’s so obvious. Besides, how can he now be an NRA member, yet he signed bills restricting guns?
