I admit it would have been better to just provide some closeups of idiots protesting in Washington the other day. However, the tattooed gun nut above really does portray the right wingers' long out-dated view of guns.

Last time I'll use the Examiner for photos, that's for sure. Google is not always your friend.

Well the unabashed lies sorta explans the lack of support gun control advocates face on election day

Ever stop and think that if you must lie, there may be a flaw in your position?
