Alabama voters picked Roy Moore over incumbent Sen. Luther Strange during a Republican runoff election Tuesday to fill Jeff Sessions’ vacated U.S. Senate seat.
Strange, who had the backing of the NRA and Trump, who adopted the gun lobby’s views during his campaign, vowed to support Trump’s agenda to take on the establishment and advance conservative issues.
Yet, Moore had the backing of other prominent conservatives including former Trump advisor Steve Bannon and more extreme gun rights organizations like Gun Owners of America.
The NRA spent roughly seven figures on Strange ads and to raise public doubt about Moore’s dedication to the Second Amendment. |

BIAS ALERT!!!
"more extreme gun rights organizations like Gun Owners of America."
Extreme? How can an organization dedicated to protecting our God given rights be extreme?

The reason he was picked is the Republicans in office are not doing what we hired them for. AFC, Share, National Reciprocity, etc. Time to put a new group in that understands who hired them.
The plug on the drain is about to be pulled!!! |

Legal purists don't like Judge Moore because he won't uphold recent SCOTUS decisions re: 10 commandments & gay marriage. But Alabamians like him because he sticks to his principles despite the cost, which means he's unlikely to flip-flop as senator.
Luther Strange, OTOH, is -- sorry -- a corrupt, lying swamp dweller who was deservedly shunned by the electors. Trump got some REALLY BAD advice from whatever swampmonster told him Strange was a good and viable candidate. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
