Gotta say I was impressed. I do think he might be of more use in Congress than the Ag Comission (based on nothing but this ad).
Still, I do have a bit of a problem with the rifle. They're symbolic concerns, but still troubling. Here's why.
1 It seems to me it was unecessary. Too many politicians want to wave "guns" around (zero tolerance, three strikes, RICO, AWBs, Patriot Act etc.), when they'd be best left in the holster. Have the gun, just don't pull it till you mean to use it.
2 The booger hook on the bang switch. Again, too many pols are playing around with power that they don't understand or have enough repect for. They wind up using it unsafely.
Its not a slam on this guy, I agreed with every word he said. I even like the tone.
Still, if there was ever a metaphor of what's wrong with government "unsafe gunhandling" by politicians would be near the top of the list.
