Paul Helmke is convinced that he still can call himself a Republican and a gun-control advocate.
It’s getting harder.
As the presidential primary unfolds with GOP candidates competing hard for the gun vote, Helmke said he's witnessing a disappearance of Republican leaders willing to advocate what he calls “common sense” gun laws.
“Republicans used to realize there were things you could do that don’t impinge on Second Amendment rights that might make us safer,” he said. “Now, it seems all Republican candidates either go with the simplistic ‘I’m a strong supporter of the Second Amendment,' or they’re pushing for more guns in more places. One means nothing, and the other just makes us less safe.” |

| Maybe it is because there is no such thing as common sense gun laws. |

The Brady pukes (may they burn forever) tried to claim they were republican too, but they always seem allied with the democraps.
We don't need another enemy in our ranks. |

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| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times.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 For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in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 If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal.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) |
