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 |
| Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
