Gunowners' rights was not a primary topic in the Sept. 16 Republican debate with the issue only discussed briefly by several of the 11 presidential candidates, therefore a great deal of vetting remains to be done before America's 90 million gunowners can be sure whoever wins the GOP nod will have their backs 14 months from now in the general election against the Democrats.
But the general consensus is former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush's comments are cause for alarm while Sen Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) gained a few points among gunowners. |

Indeed, agrees BearingArms.com Editor Bob Owens, Bush "may have hurt his credibility with gunowners."
Um, Bob, how can J.E. Bush hurt his credibility with gunowners? In order to do that, he'd first need to have credibility. |

Mickey, in fairness, JEB was a fantastic governor, and a pro-gun stalwart while in that office.
What he as become given the national parameters' effect on his politics, however, is a different story. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
