Another Central Florida Republican shrugged off his poor grade.
Incumbent Orlando Republican Rep. Rene Plasencia voted for the gun control bill and received a C. He’s facing a primary challenge from George Collins, who received an AQ, which the NRA says indicates “a pro-gun candidate” based solely on their answers to its questionnaire, and who doesn’t have a voting record on gun issues.
“I didn’t know about the grade. Some people have told me but I haven’t seen it,” Plasencia said. “It’s not something I look at or look for.”
NRA Tallahassee lobbyist Marion Hammer said Plasencia was “lucky to get a C. He made commitments to support Second Amendment rights, then broke his word.” |

“There is no question that whatever I could do to keep a Pulse shooting or a Parkland shooting from happening again I would do it as long as it was constitutional.”
One problem, Mike: There is no due process in place when adding someone to a "no fly" list, therefore they cannot be denied their constitutionally-protected right to acquire, keep and bear arms, yet you support the "no fly" prohibition.
So, which is it, Mike? The Constitution, or political expediency? |

| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
