I think you're misunderstanding the post. The media isn't making RP a "media darling" because he is for liberty and the Constitution in this instance, they couldn't care less about RP's solution. It's because of his disagreement with the NRA.FIFY.
Honestly, what the heck do you people have against liberty and the Constitution?
When I talk about people paying lip service to the Constitution, it's not just the ones on the "left".
