Too bad your father was a traitor and oppressor of our fundamental rights. Beyotch. The NRA ain't perfect, but they ain't the enemy either. The folks who voted for GCA '68 are the enemy, simply because they cannot follow "shall not be infringed."

Hold a second, if you listen to the NRA detractors , the NRA supported the '68 GCA.

Of course they did. What's a little protectionism between friends?

American firearms manufacturers saw the '68 GCA as a quick way to stop imported competition. Quick profits vs. doing the right thing. Hindsight is always 20-20. S&W damned near sold out again a couple of years ago - and the NRA be-damned. Contrary to popular belief, the NRA and 'The Industry' don't always see eye-to-eye.

Is '20-20' a new calibre?

I keep forgetting that my other blog sticks me into your spam filter! LOL.

My freedom is not up for debate. My Constitutional freedoms were granted by God Almighty not by a government of men. Call it hysterical if you want. I'll die on this hill.

I'll be right there beside you or whoever believes the same.

I've got a hot and loud "Molon labe!" for any enemy, foreign or domestic, who tries any shenanigans with me.

Well said Tarn Helm.Exactly how many of the over 20,000 gun laws has the NRA had repealed over the last 40 years??

Oh, I dunno. The NRA has been pushing CCW reform for a while and that seems to have worked out pretty well.

Rome was neither built, nor destroyed, in a day.

Thanks, Tarn Helm, I appreciate it. BTW I'm supporting Ron Paul, he respects the Constitution also he's not a Hollywood insider.

No, but Ron IS a fruitloop and an antisemitic bigot.
Besides, "Hollywood Insider" was one of the criticisms the Carter people leveled against... Ron Reagan. Nice company you keep.

Dave, You have no reason to call RP an antisemite. What's going on here is that some people want to keep foreign aid going to Israel. Some, including RP, do not. In fact he wants to shut off all foreign aid, so it ain't just Israel.

Michael Medved, who started this slander, is willing to say anything to defend Israel's right to our tax dollars. I am not a fan of RP because his foreign policy stance is irrational in light of the last hundred years of American policy. But he isn't an antisemite because some nazi makes a legal contribution to his campaign. And he isn't antisemetic because he keeps the money. People like you won't require their favorite candidate to follow similar rules so that makes you a hypocrite.

There are plenty of reasons not to vote for RP (and some reasons [e.g. RKBA or limited government] to vote for him. We have to balance many issues to pick the best candidate. Propagating a slander is just one way some let themselves be manipulated by the partisans of one candidate or another.

I'm not usually a "ditto!" person, but in this case I'll add a "Well said!" to RKV's comment.
I'm not going to vote for RP for the simple reason that I think his foreign policy statements are both perfectly logical and, at the same time, dangerously pollyannaish (is that a word?). "In theory, theory and practice are the same, but in practice..."

And a thank you to our blog host for his rational response to the commentator on the NPR blog.
