Rand Paul wants ccw in DC

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid refuses to allow a floor vote on the House-passed national-reciprocity, concealed-carry bill because he knows it might actually pass. Sen. Rand Paul is trying to force the Nevada Democrat’s hand. “The Senate shouldn’t be about the majority party cherry-picking what they want to vote on,” Dr. Paul told The Washington Times. “Harry Reid will only vote if he can win.”

Politicians and bureaucrats are considered productive if they swarm the populace like a plague of locust, devouring all substance in their path and leaving a swath of destruction like a firestorm. The technical term is "bipartisanship".

And to think that there have been people on gunboards saying that Reid is a supporter of the 2nd amendment. He is not. He is just a traitor and enemy of the Republic like the rest of them.

The Dems have 23 seats up for re-election and the Rep's have 10.   If done properly, the R's should see big gains, however, them being the Stupid Party, they'll squander the opportunity.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

He's more pro-2A than most Republicans. But... he's still a politician. I doubt he personally likes firearms or the 2A, he just doesn't think the anti-2A crowd has many votes or cash. 

With the exception of oddities like Issa or Paul... Yea, majority of them are enemies of the Republic. On either side. Republicans are not thought of being highly supportive of women related issues, Dems are not thought to be highly supportive of firearm related issues. There's a lot of truth to either perception, but it's not entirely universal.

I wish they would just stick to issues outlined in the Constitution, individuals can worry about their own issues locally.
