NV Senate candidate Terry Suominen responds to gun questionnaire

3. Please give some examples of gun laws you consider constitutional.

HS: MY PERSONAL BELIEF IS THAT ASSAULT RIFLES SHOULD BE REGULATED. I AGREE THAT FELONS AND MENTALLY INCOMPETENT INDIVIDUALS ARE EXEMPT FROM THE SECOND AMENDMENT AS THE SUPREME COURT HAS RULED AND I AGREE THAT ONE SHOULD HAVE TO APPLY FOR A PERMIT TO CARRY A CONCEALED WEAPON. ALSO I BELIEVE IN THE SAFE ZONES AROUND SCHOOLS. [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner column presents us with what is called a "teachable moment." If you have time to being some light, I'd appreciate it.

Also get the latest from my fellow GREs.

Tell a friend?

TS is just another bottom feeder that doesn't understand "shall not be infringed". Or that "a law repugnant to the Constitution is void". His qualifiers mean nothing.

yes. "don't use caps lock."

Is Suominen stupid or crazy? A smart politician might've done a web search and figured out that advocating licensing, regulation, registration, and victim disarmament zones isn't going to win many votes among this bunch.

"Teachable moment"? Probably not, in this case.

Guy is a yutz, and having your picture taken with an American flag in the background will not turn a yutz into Patton.

Please ask him why "assault" rifles should be regulated, but not other rifles, and ask him to elaborate on his point. Should be a hoot!

Sounds like a Harry Reid republician to me, kind of Orin Hatch lite.

Question #3 always trips them up, even the sorta "good" ones. I see no qualifications in the Second Amendment. None. Not one. Even if there were, that would just mean the Second Amendment was wrong.
