The eight Republicans are:Washington Rep. Jaime Herrera BeutlerPennsylvania Rep. Brian FitzpatrickTexas Rep. Will HurdNew York Rep. John KatkoIllinois Rep. Adam KinzingerNew York Rep. Elise StefanikMichigan Rep. Fred UptonOregon Rep. Greg Walden [More]Fitzpatrick and Upton are also co-sponsors of the latest gun-grab attempt.

[H/T Wirecutter]
It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Word 'Unrelated' Is
Too many people insisted on bringing unrelated culture war issues along with gun rights, which has made it difficult to expand our base, and has completely removed us as a force in one of the two major parties. [More]What, like this? And "unrelated" as in "single issue"...?
