Politicians (hypocrites) and gun ownership. Look who has concealed carry permits!

[Sam Fisher]

Colorado -–(Ammoland.com)- Word of gun owners’ victory at the Iowa Straw Poll is spreading.
Even one of America’s premier political news sites, Politico.com, has picked up the story about how National Association for Gun Rights members just like you toppled Tim Pawlenty’s Presidential campaign.

The article even noted my subsequent call for NAGR members to lobby Governor Rick Perry to return the National Association for Gun Rights Presidential Candidate Survey.

However, Politco.com writer Maggie Haberman missed the mark when she noted that Perry has a concealed carry permit by assuming he must be pro-gun because he has a concealed weapon permit.

The Washington, D.C. elites just don’t get it. They think that simply having a concealed weapon permit automatically makes any politician pro-gun.

Do you think California Democrat Senator Barbara Boxer is pro-gun? No, I don’t think so, either.

But Barbara Boxer used her influence to secure an elusive concealed carry permit from California.
I can almost hear her trying to deceive gun owners… “Trust me, I have a permit.”

Or how about New York Democrat Senator Chuck Schumer?
Schumer himself is reported to possess a New York concealed handgun permit, and both U.S. Senators regularly employed armed guards for their personal protection.

Just because a politician recognizes that being armed makes THEM safer, doesn’t mean they support YOUR right to keep and bear arms. They think they’re different than you and me, that because of their title they’re entitled to MORE rights than we are.

The Second Amendment is about much more than just carrying concealed… or hunting… or sport shooting.
Your right to keep and bear arms is a bulwark against tyranny.

That’s why the National Association for Gun Rights sends Presidential Candidate Surveys to politicians like Tim Pawlenty and Governor Rick Perry.
Gun owners MUST know where they stand on important issues like banning magazine or bans on certain types of semi-automatic rifles, or opposing the United Nations’ Small Arms Treaty gun-grab.

Please call Rick Perry’s campaign RIGHT NOW at (858) 483-4300 and demand that he return the National Association for Gun Rights Presidential Candidate Survey.
I hope you’ll also take a moment and re-read my article about how AmmoLand readers like you toppled Tim Pawlenty’s Presidential aspirations.
Please, don’t forget to call Governor Perry at (858) 483-4300 and demand that he return the National Association for Gun Rights Presidential Candidate Survey.
For liberty,
Dudley Brown

Here's Chuck Schumer having fun with a full auto Tech9

 

[assari]

He has a pretty small gun.

Generally speaking; Never trust politicians.

They say one thing and do another.

 

[Bloodshot Scott]

I've heard Arlen Specter has a semi(or full)-auto AR in his office in DC.

 

[Mayhem]

Hanoi Jane Fonda was a big anti-gunner.....until they found out she had a concealed carry permit and 2 or 3 handguns.

 

[Mr. Daystar]

Same with Rosie O'Donnell, and her armed security.

If guns kill people, then spoons made Rosie fat!

 

[PlumpRump]

Or R.C. Soles Jr., former NC State Seantor (D-NC 1977-2011), a long time anti-gun advocate, who, in August 2009 shot a man who was trying to break in to his home near Tabor City NC. I guess his life and personal safety are more important than the rest of ours, especially the several children he has been accused of molesting.

Spoon control!

 

[Mr. Daystar]

Spoon control!

Better ban pencils....they misspell words!

 

[Straight Shooter]

Better ban pencils....they misspell words!

Typical clownish response

 

[Mr. Daystar]

Typical clownish response

Take the dick out of your mouth, and replace it with a pistol....the gene pool will benefit, and the world will improve.

A resurrected Sam Fisher thread. What could be better?

I think that the people who I find to be the most amusing (and hypocritical) are the politicians, Hollyweird types and wealthy elitists who constantly whine about gun control, yet they employ bodyguards and security officers who are licensed to carry full-auto/select fire weapons. I've read that Mr. Gun Ban (George Soros) has a security detail that could turn a person into Swiss cheese in about 5 seconds. And there was a photo (I think from the early 90's) of Ted Kennedy's security detail. One of his paid goons leaned forward and his jacket fell open. On display was a mini Uzi. :eek:

There's something that I've heard, but don't know how true it is. The Reagan era Firearms Owner's Protection Act of 1986 prohibited civilian ownership or transfer of any fully-automatic/select fire weapon which was not registered by May 19, 1986. But I've heard that certain private security agents somehow escape this provision and are able to purchase newer fully automatic weapons. Is that true? Does anybody know? And if it is, how is that? I mean, when guys that work as security contractors, like Blackwater, come stateside, do they have to turn in their new fancy toys and revert back to pre-1986 full-autos if they're doing domestic security assignments? Just curious.

Not sure how I missed this. I know R.C. Soles and have been in the same courtroom with him on many occasions.
He had to resign from the NC Senate because he likes his boyfriends very young and had to protect his bungalow with firearms if necessary. Thank god he is a liberal Democrat.
