We have a Ron Paul and Mitt Romney thread, I'd like to see what you guys think of Gingrich. I have not much heard his record on RBKA, does anybody know?
Newt has been long recognized as a strong defender of the Second Amendment’s right to bear arms. Newt is a recipient of the National Rifle Association’s Defender of the Second Amendment Award. His legislative voting record was consistently scored by the NRA as either an A or A+ all 20 years that he served in Congress. Furthermore, Newt is the only candidate in the GOP race who has spoken out about the threat to the second amendment from the United Nations and other global governance organizations, and on the first day, he will instruct the Department of Justice and State Department to defend American sovereignty and block all international treaties that infringe on Second Amendment rights.
But it's not the ONLY indicator. This is a much different climate than when he was in the house before. What I have to ask myself is; "Is he likely to vote that way NOW?"
But opponents of the assault-weapons ban--a 1994 law that prohibits the manufacture and importation of 19 types of semiautomatic assault-style weapons--insisted that it is not a partisan issue. Indeed, 56 Democrats cast votes for repealing the ban and 42 Republicans opposed repeal. "A majority of the members of the 104th Congress are not interested in gun control. They are not interested in government control. They are interested in crime control," said Rep. Bob Barr (R-Ga.), leading proponent of the repeal bill, which included an amendment increasing prison sentences for crimes committed with a gun.
With Gingrich in the white house we will have a pro gun president
No, with Gingrich in the white house, we will have a seemingly pro-gun president that may very well sign an anti-gun bill if he thinks it would benefit him in any way.
THAT'S a good way to get the GOP to field good candidates!I believe any of the GOP candidates now running will be a much safer bet.

If you keep voting for the turd sandwiches the GOP puts up, they will just keep putting up their turd sandwiches as candidates.
Of course we could eliminate the hard decision of whether or not to vote for the turdburger if we would just nominate a principled individual as our candidate. For me it's either that, or abstaining.
I'm voting for true movement conservatives in this primary, ie. Bachman or Santorum. If they lose, I will vote for anyone against Obama.
One of the questions asked whether or not the candidate would “sign or veto legislation to remove the so-called ‘gun free school zones’ ban.”
Senator Santorum said that he would veto this legislation – thereby continuing the legislative regulations that have created hundreds of thousands of “victim zones” across the country.
On November 10, 1993, Senator Santorum voted to approve the NICS Act. This federal law began the national program to mandate background checks for most all gun sales.
On July, 28, 2005, Senator Santorum stood with incredibly anti-gun politicians like Barbara Boxer, Diane Feinstein, and Frank Lautenberg to mandate trigger locks on the transfer of all handguns.
