If it please the court, why do we even need a PAC for gun owners?
There seems to be plenty of logic supporting the idea of agitating for the positive addition of a new law on behalf of a special interest. Petitioning your government is as American as black socks and white loafers.
Jim Crow laws not meeting your idea of Constitutional muster? Organize to add elements to the Constitution to protect your class.
Gay marriage your bag? Organize to add your wishes to the codified law of the land to afford your group new rights not protected by the Constitution.
So the idea of an entire political action committee predicated for the negative defense of a right already clearly and specifically enumerated in the Bill of Rights seems an asinine waste of resources. And sadly in this limp wrist Republic, a necessary one.
Perhaps a ray of light in D.C. today. Unless of course the Republicans coronate some gun control whack job like Mitt or Rudy.

Slap me stupid, Jane.
I frickin' agree with you for once.
I'm probably the most gun positive maggot load Liberal you know. Now, I will say, that I likes my handgun for being out on the farm during snake season 'cause the rifle is a wee bit cumbersome. The shotgun would be better for the task at hand, but has the same disadvantage as the rifle. I tend to leave them all at home when I go to the big city since I'm not going to need them there...copperhead murder being the last thing on my mind.
I can see where a gun ban would be attractive in a place like DC or Chicago. But that's not going to stop the guys using the guns for nefarious purposes...so people need to have a little equalization at home.
[JANE SAYS:
No, Rosie. You are the most gun positive maggot load Liberal that I LIKE. A LOT. And OBTW...there are NO maggots on you. You are principled and OLDER, so you have a right to keep your Left leanings. You have more than enough under your belt to justify yourself in my book. "Maggot load" is a term reserved for the very youngest, thoughtless, and greenest howler monkeys on the Left.
But then, I am probably the most homosexual (not to be confused with **GAY**) friendly Rightwing Nutjob that YOU know. (or "like", maybe?) //////// ;)
Where's my fudge? Need to order some of that stuff. No goat milk here until mid-month. Don't think I can last that long. ]

Awwww...thanks Jane. As a right wing nutjob you are pretty okay. Granted, I don't comment here often. I do visit. But...if you can't say anything "nice"....you know how that goes.
But our shared love of goats and ham biscuits is enough for me. And I do like you.
And I was one of those howler monkeys at one time. But I began to question why I was having so much damn fun marching under banners that said "Sodomy IS SIN". And the only really nasty thing I ever managed to spit at the fundies was "Your shoes are TACKY, TACKY, TACKY!"
[JANE SAYS: EVryone here knows that JANE loveslovesLOVES her Choos. No tacky LifeStrides for THIS whack-o.....NoOOoosir. My footwear stash goes from Doc Marten to Jimmy Choo...and a pair of steel toed Red Wings when I'm building bridges with my uncle.
Goats, Rosie....its AAAaall about the goats. You are the person I've met online I'd most like to share a beer with. And fudge...you bring THAT, nkay, I'll get the brew...]
