Eat it.

He has several.

Gun safety with Sarah Palin.

As true career establishment politicians try desperately to show they are "severe" conservatives.

If he had shot Coburn in the face, he'd be a lock to win reelection.

Kind of like waving a confederate flag.

As a rights 'fancier,' I'm fond of Mitch's opponent's tack:

"Someone tell @Team_Mitch that's not the way to hold a gun. KY women do it better."

Kudos to Alison L. Grimes! That's how you do it Hoyt. Your way on the other hand, being all condescending and snooty, looking down your nose at "Gun fanciers" only serves to alienate too many voters.

would not become a Republican because his/her feelings are hurt over gunz. The fact is, the MAJORITY of gun fanciers are right/white wingers and bigots. There are a few exceptions, but not a lot.

This attitude will keep the South in Republican hands. I have voted solidly Democratic all of my life, but even I have my limits. Too many Democrats seem intent on testing those limits by cutting Social Security or promoting corporatist trade deals like the TPP.

Gun-grabbing legislation is just one more reason for a rights-fancying guy like myself to shrug and say, "What's the point of even voting?"

Good thing Alison Grimes seems more intent on invigorating her base. NC could use a good Democratic Senate candidate like her in 2016 to unseat Burr. As for the 2014 ballot, Kay Hagan has been quite reasonable about Second Amendment rights.

Is a right-wing talking point dribbled out of the mouth of easily fooled low information voters.

Enjoy your road trip to irrelevance & oblivion, Caretha. I won't be traveling with you.

You can troll-ishly attempt to tar rational people with views differing from yours as dribbling, 'easily fooled low-information,' etc. But can you debate the issues rather than just sneer? Apparently not.

Right now, legislation is unfolding in CT, CA, and other locations here in the US that is actually 'grabbing' guns. People (including me) are paying attention. This is not a symptom of low information. The CT legislation in particular is egregious and unconstitutional.

If Republicans were hiring trolls to drive intelligent Constitution-loving voters their way, you could make bank with haughty pronouncements such as yours.

explain exactly how you cannot have more unnecessary guns than you need and every psycho path in the US also has and does. Until then you are shouting at a blank wall and have not presented anything that infringes on your rights as dictated by the constitution and your ability to own all the fire power you could ever possibly need or want.

No one is taking that away nor could they possibly due to the amount of guns/ammo etc already existing in these here big bad ass land of the free etc etc ad nausem.

What? ...you see a commie in every corner with an AK 47 invading the US going house to house and cranny hole to cranny hole ferreting out those hidden stashes? If so friend you have way to much tinfoil acting as a hat on your head than is healthy.

BTW - I own a bad ass gun and am an excellent shot. Also I have way more ammunition than I'll ever need for target practice or protecting myself - which at one point in my little whittle girl life needed. I carried way to much money around in the dark by myself and lots of bad guys knew it.

I'm alive and never had to use it to protect myself. So stick that up your itty bitty scared ass boy's ass and quit acting like a weenie and afraid that someone will come get your arsenal.

Keep slinging insults like an arrogant twit. See how many votes that attracts to the Democratic Party...

Congratulations that you consider yourself a badass. Live it up! I am just a regular guy, with no particular claims to toughness. Nonetheless, I am not afraid of you, or anyone else spouting such petty, small-minded, insulting drivel. Like I already said, irrelevance and oblivion will be the crowning achievements of your hostility and arrogance. I'm sure it makes you feel very special. It is not, however, a strategy for building a party, or a movement.

I abhor guns, but I know more than a few exceptions. And they are "good Dems."

and spent a good part of my adult life in a state where it was too. My husband was a better Democrat than many people I know (door to door canvasing, donating, and possessing the ability to argue his viewpoint with others) and he owned guns (unfortunately).

today's popular guns have little to do with hunting four-legged game for food.

What else is there to say?

It's flouting the Constitution. Christ on a cracker! The Palin-ization of language makes me sick. No! Not just any word will do. Not any word that sounds close enough! Fail! Off with their heads!

Interesting bit of irony that McConnell and other RWNJs are the ones who flaunt their flouting of how government is supposed to function.

points out the obstructionism of the con party.

Old Turtleface has the audacity to be "...pummeling President Obama and Democrats for having done “next to nothing for the little guy,” and "failing working families. ..." And how about YOUR having done less than “next to nothing for the little guy,” and failing working families. ..." and on top of that accepting a paycheck from the Treasury for your repetitive do-nothing-ness. That's stealing.

It's a black powder flintlock gun used by snipers during the American revolution. Being single shot it's not a practical weapon these days. It's more a collector's item.

McConnell's pathetic Republicon Macho Posturing may very well stir up further interest in this SHOCKING Daily Kos story about him that got scant notice:

Charlton Heston's infamous "cold dead hands" speech. Unfortunately, like Heston, McConnell is really bad actor and an anti-American neoconservative corrupt NRA/ALEC/Koch Brothers bought-and-paid-for shill.

after Charlton Heston has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's, the NRA up the ante and goes from Flintlock to AR-15 as a gift to a man who has been diagnosed with a mental disability, go team NRA.....

It's a shame that a thing of such beauty and history is being used as a cheap prop by both sides of the RKBA divide.

GOP Congress is a joke! How much money do they waste on trying to appeal Obamacare alone?

USELESS PEOPLE, living off our taxpayer time.

useless, they are absolutely useless.

50! WTF is that!?! Can't ANYONE in the media make THAT into a fire-shitstorm?! I am appalled at how that gets ignored by the press!

50 fucking times they've LOST a vote and as I understand it, Congress costs millions and billions to run daily! URGGGGG! It pisses me off to no end knowing WE pay for these idiots to waste our money daily!!! MADNESS!

Rank hypocrisy and blatant deception--hey, it's the Republican way.

DC has some of the most restrictive gun laws in the nation, he may be in violation there.

The long gun shown is not against the law in MD or in PG County where the event is taking place.

Black powder muzzle loaded rifles have a classification all their own, don't even have to have a background check to buy one.

That's not what your gun-humping buddies are using to shoot up America's schools. Stop pretending that hunting rifles are endangered...

something ALL POLITICIANS USE

"clinging to their guns". They sure are.

...is absolutely cringe worthy. I'm amazed he can say that with a straight face.

or conservative leadership. Or, wait...maybe I can.

And there's a gun, too.

dictionary.

mitch is good for one thing and that's "flaunting" what a sociopathic, Orwellian-speak fuckhead is all about.

Think he realizes that? Like he's ready to storm some beaches at Normandy.
