Civil libertarians who supported such a candidate because of his alleged love for the First Amendment would be foolish. Civil libertarians who support Mr. Obama or Mrs. Clinton because of their purported fealty to the Second Amendment may be bitterly disappointed.

No candidate is good for the Second Amendment. McCain is less harmful; Clinton and Obama are unacceptable.

The Rifleman this month exposes their hypocrisy much like this article does.

Also, the Rifleman has several items showing that the next target for anti-gunners will be regulating ammunition out of existence. There is a company promoting serialized ammo. Such a thing, and the infrastructure required to support tracking it, will put us all out of business. We'll become criminals, hunkering over the fire molding bullets out of lead, or nothing.

The shooting sports culture in Pennsylvania was thriving long before the domestic manufacture of steel began to decline. Indeed, that culture was thriving before steel was invented.

Its a pretty good article overall, but this point is simply false. There can't be a thriving gun culture in PA before steel was invented, because steel was invented before either PA or guns where in existence.
