I wondered at the party affiliation of these switch hitters, and as to whether or not they received NRA endorsement.

Republicans, and yes.

Ah, yes. The NRA picks a few more “winners.”

GOA.

Well that will make it easier for those who don’t obey the law to shoot up the place knowing nobody can defend themselves; who wants to bet that if someone did conceal and shot the bad guy would be brought up on charges.

Yeah, but they sure like that NRA endorsement, plus the votes and money from us "gun kooks".

They just run off and vote like dems once they're in office.

We must show them our “appreciation”.
Soon.

I can’t say that I necessarily disagree with them. I’m pro-gun, but my memory of college is essentially one of an alcohol fueled orgy. I have very mixed feelings about allowing campus carry.

Guys like this always remind me of the sleazebag Mayor Bates in Red Dawn who sold out his own kid to the Russians.

RIP actor Lane Smith

I've noticed, since I started paying any sort of attention to politics [I'm under 30], that the Republican Party, as a party, does not strive for any of the stated party planks. The Republican party is the party which says it will do something and, when elected, does nothing; a prime example is that of firearms, Republicans get a lot of credit for the Assault Weapon Ban... but they do not deserve it: the AWB had a sunset clause and terminated because of it. This means that the republicans had to do nothing to terminate it, literally.

The same is true of the stated goal of overturning Roe v. Wade; when was the last time that the Congress did something to REALLY impact the number of abortions? This serious talk of eliminating funding for Planned Parenthood is the most they've ever done [in my memory]. {President Bush's Mexico City policy doesn't count: that's a person's doing, not the party's.}

If the Republican Party doesn't grow a pair, especially considering the massive turnaround of the 2010 elections, and actually do the things it says that it will do... well, in that case I have no use for the party at all.

The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government.

Once again, gun owners can thank Republicans for another betrayal. Never make the mistake of thinking that the GOP is loyal to gun owners. They will sell us out in a heartbeat if they think that they can gain something.
