Huckabee is sort of interesting and funny. If his name were Smith he'd have a better shot at it. This particular ad just falls flat though.

He'd be better off if Norris simply roundhouse kicked him into the White House....

That would be about the only way he's gonna get there....

[Guest db99wj]

That's funny. I like that.

[Mike.357]

What bugged me about the ad was the fact that our 2A rights are safe with Huckabee because he is a hunter.

If the freakin politicians do not understand that 2A is NOT about hunting what chance do we stand if they are elected? So what my bolt action rifle is safe, what about my non sporting guns I have?

[fury2neon]

Very good point Mike.

[Guest looneeetunes]

yeah i heard about this on the radio the other day. in my eyes it kind of makes anyone fighting for second amendment rights look like a fool. does push ups he pushes the earth down.... pleeeeease

[Guest CrazyLincoln]

I'll only vote for Huckabee if Chuck Norris is his VP

[Mike.357]

I really think the thing about candidates and the perennial talk about how they are pro 2A because they are hunters has merit.

What do the rest of you all think about this?

Personally I think it is BS and 2A has nothing to do with hunting. The man wants to keep us down and really does not give a crap about thugs and criminals in spite of all the feel good legislation proposed about gun control. All the man cares about is keeping his elected office. To hell with the rest of us!

Mike, you said,

I agree wholeheartedly with your sentiment. We've seen politicians pander for the pro-gun vote many times and use the "I won't take your hunting rifles away" in their feeble attempt to gain our support.

I am not pushing anyone towards a vote for Huckabee. I thought the video I posted was kinda funny and thought others might find the humor in it as well. But with any 60 second commercial you can only say so much. All bases cannot be covered. But Huckabee does have a very pro 2nd Amendment record as Gov. of Arkansas and his website has some very pro-gun statements that sound like he is a very good friend to us. He even has a concealed weapons permit ( first Governor to do so )

To read his 2nd Amendment stand see this: http://www.mikehuckabee.com/index.cfm?FuseAction=Issues.View&Issue_id=18

Here is an excerpt:

The Second Amendment is primarily about tyranny and self-defense, not hunting. The Founding Fathers wanted us to be

able to defend ourselves from our own government, if need be, and from all threats to our lives and property. Second Amendment rights belong to individuals, not cities or states. I oppose gun control based on geography.

I consistently opposed banning assault weapons and opposed the Brady Bill.

As Governor, I protected gun manufacturers from frivolous law suits.

I was the first Governor in the country to have a concealed handgun license.

That's a real ad?

[Guest Tombstone]

That's a real ad?

THats what I was curious about.

[EMTRN]

I am impressed with that link that waynesan posted. It says several times that the 2nd is not about hunting. I don't know if he has much of a chance but I like what I read.

That he says this impresses me a lot. He should have said this in his ad, not the Fudd like statement from Norris. If he is on our ballot he stands a chance of garnering my vote.

I just went an reviewed his website and his stand on a myriad of issues. he really sounds like a good candidate. Certainly better than Rudy and the witch of the east.

[Guest CrazyLincoln]

Chuck Norris only supports the 2A because he wants a challenge.....

[Marswolf]

Yeah, but Streisand just endorsed Hillary.

Which actor should I trust the judgment of? Personally, I wouldn't vote for anyone who isn't endorsed by an out-of-work actor.
