Yes, everyone’s favorite foot tapping senator Larry Craig, and as well as Senator Crap Crapo oppose him because he enforces the law.
They have both put “holds” on his nomination, because as acting head of the ATF, “The ATF stripped the license of Red’s Trading Post in Twin Falls, Idaho, in March after an audit found numerous record-keeping violations over a five-year period,” though this license is still in effect pending litigation.
Once again, we find a case where all the NRA Republicans think that the 2nd amendment as they define it stops where they live and work. In their brief to SCOTUS, the Justice Deptartment has said that the appellate court ruling was over broad.
It’s because these guys live and work in DC, and they are worried what will happen to them if black people are allowed to carry guns.
Gun control for me, but not for thee, I guess.
My guess is that we will shortly see US v. Miller overturned, which defined the 2nd amendment as a states right, which will be a bad thing.
FWIW, my reading of the debates at the constitutional convention, and my understanding of the language of the times, I’ve always read it as, “A militia is necessary for the protection of individual freedom, so in the context of a militia, people must be allowed to keep and bear arms.”
That was also the essence of the Miller decision in 1939, which I expect to be overturned.
The Log Cabin Republicans have produced an ad endorsing Mitt Romney.
More accurately, they have produced an ad endorsing Mitt Romney circa 1994, where he categorically argues for abortion rights, gay rights, taxes, and gun regulation.
He even disavows Ronald Reagan.
Devastating.
