The guy with a D minus rating from the NRA? Let's look at his history, shall we? beam me up scottie Feb 2016 #24

The guy who voted for the most important legislation for the gun lobby. boston bean Feb 2016 #31

The guy who stood up to the NRA repeatedly and got an F grade 5 years in a row because of it? beam me up scottie Feb 2016 #33

I understood it perfectly. You got nothing. No proof. boston bean Feb 2016 #69

Keep trying, you'll get it eventually. beam me up scottie Feb 2016 #70

I'm barely making an effort. You have no proof of any quid pro quo. boston bean Feb 2016 #71

Wow, you are a novice. You probably believe lobbyists are voluteers. beam me up scottie Feb 2016 #72
