"That he doesn't even own a gun for his own protection strikes me as somewhat disconnected from the reality that many Americans face," Larry Pratt, executive director of Gun Owners of America, a gun rights group, told the Daily Telegraph.

I am becoming more and more less interested in who the NRA supports or does not support, frankly.

I think like AARP, with the NRA there are better and more honest brokers out there who actually care about and address the needs and wants of its members.

Maybe the guy has "protection."
I wouldn't be surprised.

Would he know how to safely use one if he did?

Jeb is a nice guy, but a little bit of a woosh.

Meh. There are Freepers who don’t own a firearm but support the 2A. Sure, it’s Jeb but not worth it to get riled up when he’s toast.

We have bigger fish to fry with Klownie the Kenyan with his gun control crap.

The rich and powerful don’t carry their own protection any more than they carry their own water. It’s all done for them.

I don’t support Jeb Bush and think he would make a terrible President.

But, the right to bear arms also includes the right not to bear arms.

Just as freedom of speech also includes the freedom to remain silent.

his not owning a weapon himself has concerned some Second Amendment gun rights groups

Jeb "Act of Love" Bush's lack of respect for national sovereignty and for the rule of law concerns me enough that I could not under any circumstances vote for him. Someone who rewards illegal behavior with citizenship could just as easily reward large campaign donations with government favors (using my money to do it!). No thank you. His lack of guns would concern me too, but only if I cared enough to look beyond that first fatal flaw.

It's like hearing that your daughter is dating a convicted serial rapist. You might not like the fact that he's an Obama voter too, but most people would (1) assume that in a rapist, and (2) not care about his treasonous votes given the equally severe flaw of being a predator who hurts innocent women.

Politicians like the Bush’s hold typical GOP voters in total contempt.

They want to be loved by the elitist media and DC insider types more than anything.

Most importantly, when someone comes into his office talking all the liberal crap about the need for background checks, delays, buying guns on the internet, gun shows being unregulated, etc,,,. He has no experience to know that it’s BS.
He is a danger to your rights.

Don’t forget Bush 1 gave us the assault rifle ban.

Trump has this. He has guns, has spoken of his CCW, and regularly speaks of this. Cruz makes mention, does the requisite pandering but he doesn’t come across as believable. The others, no surprise. Not sure I’d want to be near Christi if he did have a gun.

I have no use for John Ellis Bush, but I prefer an honest answer of non-ownership over the John Kerry “Kin ah git meone of them thar huntin’ licenses hay-ere” type of responses, or Mitt Romney’s secret penchant for varmint huntin’.

Because he`s another one who pays peoples who do to protect him. But I`d bet he doesn`t want us to own one.

Trump is more wealthy than the others named yet he own a gun. I’m sure he hire more personal guards than the others as well
