Re:\u00a0 Get a Grip<\/p>\n

To whom it may concern,<\/p>\n

You have gone on record against…shall-issue concealed carry laws?<\/a><\/p>\n

A new piece from the Family Research Council blasts Grover Norquist (President of Americans for Tax Reform; Member of the Board of Directors of the National Rifle Association) for joining the board of GOProud, an organization of conservative gay Republicans. Among the alleged sins on the GOProud agenda :<\/p>\n

Equalize \u201cconcealed carry reciprocity\u201d amendment with gay rights via state rights. Support guns being carried and recognized across state lines, in order to further the agenda that gay marriages legal in only a few states be recognized legally in all. (July 2009)<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Have you lost your minds?<\/p>\n

For starters – self-defense is a human right, without which the innocent are murdered and society is made even more vulnerable to tyranny.<\/p>\n

There are those who make the case that gay marriage is a human right.\u00a0 I disagree, and so do y’all, but the way to make the case that it is not, is not <\/em>to undercut other human rights.<\/p>\n

And if you want to influence policy, you might want to remember that most of your group’s supporters are also Second Amendment supporters, and shall-issue is one of the most important Second Amendment initiatives there is.<\/p>\n

So get right, or get off my side.<\/p>\n

That is all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
