Gunowners' rights was not a primary topic in the Sept. 16 Republican debate with the issue only discussed briefly by several of the 11 presidential candidates, therefore a great deal of vetting remains to be done before America's 90 million gunowners can be sure whoever wins the GOP nod will have their backs 14 months from now in the general election against the Democrats.
But the general consensus is former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush's comments are cause for alarm while Sen Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) gained a few points among gunowners. |

Indeed, agrees BearingArms.com Editor Bob Owens, Bush "may have hurt his credibility with gunowners."
Um, Bob, how can J.E. Bush hurt his credibility with gunowners? In order to do that, he'd first need to have credibility. |

Mickey, in fairness, JEB was a fantastic governor, and a pro-gun stalwart while in that office.
What he as become given the national parameters' effect on his politics, however, is a different story. |

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| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times.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 For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in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 If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal.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