   Take a look at the GOA’s ratings. I never thought I would see the day when the liberal Steve Cohen is placed in the same category as Trent Lott, Sam Brownback and Zach Wamp for being Pro- Gun Owners rights. They all received a “B” ranking which GAO classifies as “Pro-Gun Compromiser: generally leans our way”. This group believes that the NRA is a bunch of sell outs. The endorsement should however, help Leatherwood in solidifying his base that is full of Ron Paul supporters.

   I guess let’s talk about strict constructionalism and loose constructionalism.
   Mickey we know what the second amendment says, “right to keep and bare arms etc…” But does it stop? do i need a tank? or a missile launcher? or ever some suped up high powered automatic weapon?. No. No. and probably not.
   The Brady bill is a compromise. You aren’t going to get you grenade launcher but you are still allowed to have a carry permit and have a gun for personal protection.

   Just because your beloved constitution doesn’t specifically make a rule AGAINST these things doesn’t mean you SHOULD have these things.

   Timmy,

   Let me spell it out for you because you are obviously lacking some brain cells. The name is Jim Novak and don’t you forget it. Why don’t you leave your “detective” work to those who have a little bit more wherewithal than you do.

   Steve84 are you to decide what I should or should not have? The constitution doesn’t forbid it. period.

   Mickey wants a tank? I wonder what Madison would say. Either way, the NRA’s endorsement is much more prestigious than one from a fringe group.

   During the Founding Father’s day, a person could own any weapon, if they could afford it. A cannon was perhaps the most powerful, and, yes I wish I had one.

   I’m not anyone to tell you…but Congress is. Speed limits. Illegal substances. Sodomy. Call it big government Mickey but unless you want to be smoking dope driving 100 mph touching little kids in a school zone, a little discretion is OK with me.

   Are you a dope smoking drunk driving pedophile, Mickey?

    No, no, no. I always thought Mickey was some kind of human rights violating war criminal the way he’s scared of the UN. Is someone after you Mickey?

    All those should and can be addressed at the STATE level, not the Federal Level.
