I like a Democrat who packs a little heat

From washingtonpost.com:
"Sen. Jim Webb described himself as a "strong supporter of the Second Amendment," in a press conference about an aide's arrest for carrying a loaded gun into a Senate office building. "I have had a permit to carry a weapon in Virginia for a long time, and I believe that it's important for me personally and for a lot of people in the situation that I am in -- to be able to defend myself and my family."
 
Hmm .. wonder how the Righties are gonna attack him on this...
 
Lots of Democrats are gun owners and hunters, and openly support gun rights .. though it gets Rightie knickers in a twist when we point this out.
 
And, there's nothing like the sound of a 12-gauge chambering up to skedaddle an intruder. Speaking as someone who's been robbed in a remote farmhouse.
 
I don't know one Democrat who thinks banning hunting guns and hand-guns is a good idea .. they just aren't too crazy about the rat-a-tat AK47's.
 
Banning never works anyway. Look how well banning liquor worked during Prohibition .. and how well Cocaine, Meth and Marijuana bans are working these days.
 
Guns kill people, cars cause accidents, pencils make mistakes, and spoons make people fat.
