This unprecedented move should frighten us as much or more than the attack itself.
Ole Ron may be correct in his message but you can't dismiss the emotion of the event and its effect on the politics in this situation. Unfortunately for Ron, as many of the things I agree with him on, you just can't say things like this with out being marginalized and dismissed by large segments of the voters. It is exactly these types of comments that the media and pundits latch onto and harp on which usually results in the real meat of his argument being forgotten. Another example of why RP never had a chance as a presidential candidate.
Truth has become so foreign that when it arrives it is attacked as an intruder.
Does the same apply to the pro gun crowd post Sandy Hook?
[STRIKE]No. Double standard applies.

I take that back. When it comes to promising security at the low, low price of an antiquated liberty or two all is fair.
Paul said exactly that at the speech he gave at the homeschool convention.his runs for PotUS were likely more about this than actually trying to win.
Going full snark within minutes of an attack to defend the 2a isn't insensitive but it is insensitive to intelligently defend the rest of the bill of rights.

You're new to politics, huh?
You call Ron on it while rest receives silence?
Are NRA members paying the NRA to be sensitive or to protect the 2a? Do we vote for candidates to protect our liberty or play politics with our liberty?
I didn't say he was wrong, just politically tone deaf. The NRA isn't running for president. Big difference.

To my knowledge, Ron is no longer a candidate and has no plans to be one in the future. Yet he still gets the repub panties in a twist.

Oh My Gosh... I bet that has to be a thrill for you.
