Calling the Hypocrites Out.

EJ Dionne has the right take on the gun nuts in Congress. If what they are proposing does not make them gun nuts, then they should read EJ’s suggestion and figure out if they are gun nuts or hypocrites catering to the fears of the gun nuts.

Mind you, I like all of our Constitutional rights, I don’t exercise my second amendment rights as much as I do my first amendment rights, but I like them all. But just because I think we should have the right to bear arms, it doesn’t mean I want an assault weapon in my closet.

If you think owning weapons will make you safe (especially from an over-reaching government, you might want to review recent history aw Ruby Ridge and Mt. Carmel)

Arm the Senate!


Isn’t it time to dismantle the metal detectors, send the guards at the doors away and allow Americans to exercise their Second Amendment rights by being free to carry their firearms into the nation’s Capitol?


I’ve been studying the deep thoughts of senators who regularly express their undying loyalty to the National Rifle Association, and I have decided that they should practice what they preach. They tell us that the best defense against crime is an armed citizenry and that laws restricting guns do nothing to stop violence.


If they believe that, why don’t they live by it?


Why would freedom-loving lawmakers want to hide behind guards and metal detectors? Shouldn’t NRA members be outraged that Second Amendment rights mean nothing in the very seat of our democracy?
