Yep, I, the Crazed American...

...am a fan of Senator Harry Reid.

If the legions of loyal Crazed American readers will recall:

Now:  The travesty that was Senator Feinstein's patently un-Constitutional gun-grab is pretty much, as promised DOA - it can be reintroduced as an amendment.

I stated that Senator Reid ain't such a bad guy.  He has a solid record of defending the Second Amendment.  Before I have stated that I disagree with 99% of everything he does. No longer true - we'll call it 75% (and that would go to 50% if he could get the Senate to start pushing to pass a budget).  He is between a rock and a hard place.  He is a politician, so there is that.  I'll not say a bad thing about him and will now defend him in front of my "less than open minded" associates.

Today is a good day,

Crazed American, out.

UPDATE!!

I take it all back.  He's an idiot.  Throughout history - imagined tyranny has had a very bad habit of cropping up as quite real tyrrany, given the room to flourish.

REID: In the 1920s, organized crime was committing murders with machine guns. So Congress dramatically limited the sale and transfer of machine guns. As a result, machine guns all but disappeared from the streets. We can and should take the same common-sense approach to safeguard Americans from modern weapons of war.

That is why I will vote for Senator Dianne Feinstein’s assault weapons ban – because we must strike a better balance between the right to defend ourselves and the right of every child in America to grow up safe from gun violence. I will vote for the ban because maintaining law and order is more important than satisfying conspiracy theorists who believe in black helicopters and false flags. And I will vote for the ban because saving the lives of young police officers and innocent civilians is more important than preventing imagined tyranny.
