Here you go again Bill....I put the democrats in bold for you......
Please...we have the internet now...here is leftwing Slate.com.....and all the candidates who embraced guns....I would look up their pictures but it is late....
Guns ads and the NRA For candidates posing with rifles and pistols has become an arms race.
Democrat Natalie Tennant says that doesn’t matter. “I grew up on a farm surrounded by guns, with my brothers, going hunting and shooting,” Tennant
bragged in their Oct. 7 debate. “Having a muzzle loader myself that I use quite frequently,” said Tennant, “I don’t need the NRA” to tell West Virginians which candidate loves guns.
2. I own guns, so I know background checks aren’t a hassle. “
I have two guns,” independent Senate candidate Greg Orman claimed in an Oct. 15 debate in Kansas. “When I bought those guns, I had to go through a background check. And I don’t believe it was intrusive.” So it’s no big deal, Orman concluded, to apply the same rule to sales at gun shows.
3. I’m an environmentalist because I love guns. In an Oct. 13 Senate debate,
Montana Democrat Amanda Curtis was
pressed to explain her F rating from the NRA. She turned the question toward her opponent’s weak environmental record. “My husband and I, just in the week before the nominating convention, were out shooting the Browning 12-gauge light that his grandfather, who recently passed away, left to us,” said Curtis. “Montanans should be much more worried about … accessing our public lands so that we can use our firearms.”
4. I don’t own a gun, but my spouse does. Aimee Belgard, the Democratic nominee for Congress in New Jersey’s 3rd District, favors gun restrictions. But she claims a family connection to the other side. “I fully understand and appreciate the Second Amendment,” she
assured gun owners in an Oct. 2 debate. “My husband actually owns guns.”
I’m from York County, where the first day of deer season is a holiday,”
Democratic candidate Tom Wolf pointed out in an Oct. 8 gubernatorial debate in Pennsylvania. Those roots, he argued, made him the best person to lead a statewide conversation about legitimate and illegitimate uses of firearms.
6. I don’t own a gun, but my mom used to shoot one. Democratic Sen. Mark Udall of Colorado doesn’t claim to own a gun. Instead, he reminisces about his mom. “I strongly support the Second Amendment,” Udall
declared in an Oct. 7 debate. “My mother was the person who taught me how to handle a gun. She was a Coloradan. She was a member of the NRA.”
7. I don’t just own a gun. I have a concealed weapons permit. “I have always believed in the Second Amendment,” Nikki Haley, the Republican governor of South Carolina,
pledged in an Oct. 21 debate. “And I believe in it because I’m a certified weapons permit holder myself.” Moments later,
one of Haley’s challengers announced that he, too, had a concealed weapons permit.
10. I shoot better than you do. Eight months ago, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell posed for pictures at a conference of conservative activists while
holding a rifle. His challenger,
Kentucky Democrat Alison Lundergan Grimes, responded by cutting an ad in which she flaunted her skeet shooting. Grimes ended the commercial with a dig at McConnell: “
Mitch, that’s not how you hold a gun.”
11. I don’t just have the gun. I have the gear.
Joe Dorman, the Democratic nominee for governor of Oklahoma, brags about his A-plus rating from the NRA and calls his Republican opponent soft on the Second Amendment. “
I’ll be a fiscally responsible, pro-gun, pro-education governor,” Dorman says in campaign ads. To prove it, he poses in front of a pickup truck, wearing hunting gear and holding a rifle.
12. I don’t just have a gun. I use it to express my anger.
Four years ago, Democrat Joe Manchin won a Senate seat in West Virginia by sending a bullet through a billthat would have restricted carbon emissions. Now Manchin has copycats. In Iowa, Republican Joni Ernst fired a handgun at a
target representing the Affordable Care Act. In Alabama, Republican Will Brooke shot up
the actual bill. In Alaska, Republican Dan Sullivan blew holes in a
TV set. In Washington state,
Democrat Estakio Beltran shot a fake elephant. In Montana, Republican Matt Rosendale fired a
real bullet at an imaginary “
government drone.”
14. I’ve shot more animals than you have. At a Sept. 14 debate, Nebraska Republican Senate candidate Ben Sasse bragged about having the NRA’s endorsement.
Democrat Dave Domina dismissed Sasse as an ignorant newbie. “Nobody on this panel, I’ll bet,
has enjoyed shooting more pheasants than I have,” said Domina. “I love owning a gun.”
15. My gun is bigger than your gun. Pat Roberts, a Republican senator from Kansas, doesn’t own a gun. But don’t mess with him: “
The last gun I had was an M-1 in the United States Marine Corps.” Martha McSally, the Republican nominee for Congress in Arizona’s 2nd District, says she’s a big supporter of the Second Amendment: “
I’ve shot the 33 mm in combat.” But Republican Rep. Mike Coffman of Colorado wins this year’s award for flashing metal. During an Oct. 6 debate, Coffman and his
Democratic opponent, Andrew Romanoff, were asked
when they had last fired a gun and what type it was. Romanoff went first: “Gosh, I think in high school we had rifle practice.” Coffman followed: “Expert with the M-16, sharpshooter with the 45 and 9 mm.” I cringed and looked away. I can’t stand seeing death.
