That Was Uncalled For


[More]
Except ad hominem is the logical fallacy resort of those trying to gin up mob support by hurling insults. Because Constitutionally speaking, Massie was right, and those manipulated to scream against a recorded vote because it's "their guy" doing it know not what they enable.

But hey, it's not like a voice vote has ever come back to bite us in the ass before, right, gun owners?

UPDATE:

John Lott writes a much-needed "In Defense of Congressman Thomas Massie."
