Gunowners' rights was not a primary topic in the Sept. 16 Republican debate with the issue only discussed briefly by several of the 11 presidential candidates, therefore a great deal of vetting remains to be done before America's 90 million gunowners can be sure whoever wins the GOP nod will have their backs 14 months from now in the general election against the Democrats.
But the general consensus is former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush's comments are cause for alarm while Sen Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) gained a few points among gunowners. |

Indeed, agrees BearingArms.com Editor Bob Owens, Bush "may have hurt his credibility with gunowners."
Um, Bob, how can J.E. Bush hurt his credibility with gunowners? In order to do that, he'd first need to have credibility. |

Mickey, in fairness, JEB was a fantastic governor, and a pro-gun stalwart while in that office.
What he as become given the national parameters' effect on his politics, however, is a different story. |

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
