Here we go. One politician after another harping on about gun control. They love calling it everything but what it is. "Gun Reform"? Unreal. We are under attack.

I guess Joe Strauss still thinks he's important and people want to hear his opinion. I checked, we don't.

Yeah we are under attack bad! Just wish someone would wake me up from this nightmare. If not maybe once they take it to far some action should take place. What do I know? Except freedom is being infringed upon in more then one way, not just the 2a anymore.

Yep. The right to privacy and freedom of speech just to name a couple.

There are a number of GOP who are not our friends.....A-Rating or not. I think they’re running scared, and worried about getting re-elected if they don’t pile on with the democrats.

This is what I think also. From the bubble they all live in I think they are being told that a majority of Americans are for gun control.

I have been harping on this for a long time. The rating given to these folks means nothing because the organization giving it apparently hands them out like candy and doesn’t do it’s due diligence. This is one of the problem areas that needs to be addressed. No way should Straus have earned an A rating.

As Charles has said, the rating is based on voting record. Straus' voting record was that he voted in favor of 2A legislation when a vote was put before him. However, this rating method only tells part of the story since members can be shielded from voting against 2A legislation by having it killed in committee, or never having it brought before the full house/senate for a vote.
