Notes from the Resistance...
After all, we didn't turn out in those numbers when Congresswoman McCarthy re-introduced the Assault Weapons Ban last week. Responses like the ones we've seen over the past two days would have melted down the Congressional e-mail servers.Agreed. If we focused half the energy on treasonous politicians, particularly Republican sellouts, as we have on a mere hunting writer, it would scare the hell out of them.

After the Trolley Square shooting last week, Jenkins said he was surprised that any of his colleagues would support a bill to create another gun-free zone where criminals don't have to worry about concealed weapons permit holders.
