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. |
