Whoa! An Intelligent Politician!

Steve Scalise, the politician who was shot, and almost killed while practicing for a baseball game with other politicians, is still a pro-gun advocate. Instead of having the same "knee-jerk reaction" other politicians have when somebody gets shot, he reminds us that guns aren't JUST for killing good people. they are for DEFENSE. He notes that his life was saved that fateful day, by people with guns who were "on the scene." Never mind they were cops, ASSIGNED there as security. What if they had not been there, and nobody there had been armed and able to "take down" the shooter? Scalise would be dead, along with many others. He was asked if his stance on guns would cost him some votes, he replied, "Not at all." He knows there are more people who realize the anti-gun laws now in effect not only DO NOT stop, or even slow down "gun violence," they INCREASE it, by disarming the law-abiding, making them "easy targets" for people who VIOLATE them, and use them for ill. What we need to do is elect many more such politicians, and get rid of the ignorant ones who think they can magically erase "gun violence" by taking away our constitutionally-guaranteed right to own and use the means to self-defense, a gun.
