I thought Rick was fairly Conservative. I have been spending the past 10 days reading up on him. At best he is a fiscal moderate-to-liberal. His instincts seem to have him turn to government as the first solution on economic matters.
The fiscal situation in our Republic is dire. Rick, being trained as a lawyer, does not seem to be strong on gutting government and letting Freedom reign.
Based on memory and taking his word for it as opposed to "Fred's" bald faced lie I picked apart yesterday, I think he was referring to 1993 or 1999 post Columbine when the NRA has some alternative bills to the super bad Clinton proposals. I know the stupid gun locks bill was part of it.
I'm pretty sure Newt voted for the same stuff in 93/94 (was gone for 1999/2000) if it was in the house as neither Santorum or Newt will go against the NRA. I'm not attacking Newt for that. Both of them will follow NRA and have A+ (Santorum) and A (Gingrich) rating by them. Usually that's good, but it is not always good.
I'll send this to a very good friend of mine who's a PAC member for a state level 2a organization that is not a lackey for the NRA or anyone else. He's also a Santorum backer largely on this issue and Paul's vote against national reciprocity.
