WALLACE: Gun control.

THOMPSON: Well, I'm against gun control generally. You know, you check my record. You'll find I'm pretty consistent on that issue.

WALLACE: So this federal court — appeals court ruling this last week, I guess Friday, in the case of D.C. — you'd be perfectly happy to have people have handguns in their homes?

THOMPSON: Yes. Absolutely. The court basically said the Constitution means what it says, and I agree with that.

Fred Thompson for president in 2008. He's the only chance we have. i'm looking at Fred as the closest thing to Reagan we are likely to come across. Consider it a blessing and let's all get behind him 100%.

Thanks for the link! I hope that he does decide to jump in the race. I also believe that he would be our only hope as far as our 2A rights go and also what a Republican candidate should be.

Here's another Thompson voter, if/when he declares. Please do, Fred, we all need you to get the keys from George. If Obama or The Beast do, then this country is fried.
