We’re Winning
More candidates cater to gunnies:
Jesse Kelly, a Republican candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives from Arizona, is wielding an assault rifle in his political ads. Russ Carnahan, a Democratic congressman from Missouri, is pictured in a home state newspaper pointing a pistol at a target. Lou Ann Zelenik, a Republican congressional hopeful from Tennessee, posted on Facebook a photo of her smiling as she gets in “a little bit of practicing” at a target range.
So far, 2010 “has been a big year for guns in political ads,” says Darrell West, director of Governance Studies at the Brookings Institution.

Remember candidates for re-election, there’s plenty of time between here and November to actually pass Sunshine Firearms laws. After your dreadful example last time around, we need to see deeds not word (and certainly not easy to understand bills that somehow never get out of committee.
Get to work.

I wouldn’t vote for or trust Carnahan even if he promised to put a gun into every home.

Anyone can pose for pics with a rifle or handgun but that dos’nt mean that they actually believe that Joe and Jane Average should have them.
