Fred Thompson has decided to get in the race.
Michael and I have agreed to add a "Gun Owners For Fred" section on Down Range.
(http://www.downrange.tv/images/gunownersforfred.gif) (http://www.downrange.tv/forfred.htm)
We don't hide the fact that we both endorse Fred Thompson, but we also respect that DRTV viewers have different opinions about him, other republican candidates and the democrats fighting to be nominated.
We will devote a specific board for this topic or topics and you are all invited to join.
Feel free to post a link to our Fred Thompson Section on gun and gun ownership related forums.

He already has my vote.... ;D
Mine too, as soon as he gets on the ballot. It has been a long time coming to have this level of 2A supporter as a viable candidate for Pres.
IF he were in the debates, and IF CNN had the cajones to pose Tom Gresham's YouTube question, Fred would be the only one probably able to answer it.

He does a great job reminding us who we are as Americans.

Not just for the 2A stance, although that is reason enough. This man is a Consitutionalist, and that will help get him elected.
Downrange Brothers and Sisters, watch his six. The Lamestream Media will go after him lock stock and barrel, try to destroy his credibility. WE have to call them out. Whenever a paper does a hit piece on him, get a letter to the editor ASAP denouncing the article and the paper for running it. Use facts to counter their lies, host neighborhood gatherings, get the word out,
and let's get this man elected!

I would have to say that although I will vote for Fred ( because of his 2nd amendment policy) and becasue I think he has the best chance to win the Republican vote...
I actually like Mike Huckabee the best. He has the values that I have.. I like his passion and the fire under his ass on the issues, and he not only supports the 2nd amendment, he has the sentimental personal experience that goes with it. ( owning his own guns and those handed down to him.. shooting and hunting all his life and wanting his children to be able to grow up carrying guns ) are just a few of the things I like about the man.
Now then...Anyone want another beer? I'm gettin' in the cooler to get myself one.. ;D

All you have to do is check out Huckabee's website, and you will see exactly where he stands with the second amendment.

No offense, but that "sentimental personal experience" thing is one of the things that makes Huckabee grating to me. Initially I too was seduced by his colloquialisms and folksy stories - but in too many circumstances he used sayings like "You break it, you fix it" to frame the issue as "common sense" when in fact the issue and what is at stake is too much to trust in blindly following a cute (but understandable) saying.
As to the concept of voting for someone who doesn't necessarily meld with your opinions because of the preconceived notion of electability is just playing into the hands of the political institution. If it weren't for the media telling us who has the best chance we would do our job as patriots and vote for OUR candidate, and let OUR desires for the way the country should head influence our vote, not some popular but imperfect (for us) candidate.
