A Jacksonville lawmaker, who two years ago received a perfect rating from the National Rifle Association, is now a target of the
Second Amendment group as he seeks to become a circuit judge. In a letter Saturday to NRA and Unified Sportsmen of Florida members, influential gun-rights lobbyist Marion Hammer deemed House Judiciary Chairman Charles McBurney "unfit" for a judgeship as she implored members to email Gov. Rick Scott to keep the Republican lawmaker "off the bench." |

The gist of it: McBurney is a ex-prosecutor who thinks prosecutors deserve to get convictions when they go to court, and as such he doesn't want the burden of proof placed on prosecutors in SYG cases. Not what I usually look for in a judge. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.... We've been tempted to believe that society has become too complex to be managed by self-rule, that government by an elite group is superior to government for, by, and of the people. Well, if no one among us is capable of government himself, then who among us has the capacity to govern someone else? All of us together, in and out of government, must bear the burden. The solutions we seek must be equitable, with no one group singled out to pay a higher price. — Ronald Reagan |
