Jeb [heart] NRA

| | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)

I'm ambivalent on the issue of gun control. I've got no inherent problem with hunters, and some people need weapons for their own protection. But can I just tell you how uncomfortable this article makes me?

And I quote:


Florida Gov. Jeb Bush thanked the National Rifle Association Saturday for helping elect his brother president in 2000.

..."Were it not for your active involvement, it's safe to say my brother would not be president of the United States," the younger Bush said.

The governor said he and his brother both support the NRA's contention that the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which contains "the right to bear arms," is an individual right with few restrictions.

"The sound of our guns is the sound of freedom," said Bush, to thunderous applause from the gun group.

Last I checked, the sound of guns is (often) the sound of warfare and violence.
