Fresh off primary victories in three states, presidential candidate Rick Santorum demonstrated his strong support for the individual right to keep and bear arms by visiting H&H Shooting Sports Complex in Oklahoma City en route to a rally today.
H&H is a NSSF Five Star member range owned by Miles and Jayne Hall.
The Santorum rally originally was scheduled to be held at H&H, but a surge of requests to attend the event forced a change to the Magnuson Hotel and Convention Center, where a crowd estimated at close to 2,000 gathered. The candidate delivered a speech that focused largely on energy, reported News On 6.
During his pre-rally visit at H&H, Santorum said, “I wish we could have had it here, this would have been perfect.”
He added, “I am very impressed. It is easy to see why gun ownership is so strong here, and I stand tall with the Second Amendment.”
Said Miles Hall, founder and president of H&H, “It was a great honor to show a small but important part of the shooting industry to one of our presidential hopefuls.”
That doesn’t make any difference at all. They are not running to be Gun Enthusiast In Chief they are running for the presidency. What matters is how they view the Constitution and act in accordance with it. Nothing more.
Meaningless. Ego candy.
Hate to break it to you Newt supporters... Newt is done, finished as a Presidential candidate,,, his biggest donor Sheldon Adelson has pulled the plug on Newt’s Presidential campaign, I guess Sheldon Adelson has seen the writing on the wall...
Rick Santorum received an A+ rating from the NRA, but even bigger IS:
‘“He [Rick Santorum] was the most effective advocate of bringing it [legislation to protect gun companies from frivolous lawsuits] to the floor and getting a vote scheduled. He used his influence to get it to the floor. Without that, we would have lost every American gun company.”
– Wayne LaPierre, CEO – National Rifle Association, October 25, 2006’

Especially focus on this (from above link):
‘”He used his influence to get it to the floor. Without that, we would have lost every American gun company.”’
Rick Santorum not only votes the right way but he GETS THINGS DONE!
“..on guns.”
Please read my last post, and you will see there’s none better than Rick on fighting for our 2nd amendment rights.
btw, Ron Paul, Nancy Pelosi, et all voted AGAINST that bill which according NRA CEO, if that bill were not passed, it would have caused gun manufacturers to leave the U.S.A.!
Tancredo endorsed Rick Santorum!
Yet you support your position with a link to an antisemitic website.
Dogs.
Fleas.
That is absurd. 9mm HP ballistics can expand the diameter to .55.
