To All,
As they say in the Mixed Martial Arts game-
Let's Get It On!
Bringing Out The Big Guns:
If there was any way that Senator John McCain could have expressed his
desire to "kiss and make up" with the firearms rights movement, it
apparently has finally been done with the selection of Governor Sarah Palin
(R-AK) as his vice-presidential running mate.
Palin is a Life NRA Member and moose hunter. But she is also a politician
who has taken the time to understand firearms and the way they work, as well
as a conservationist who understands the downside of allowing
preservationists and anti-hunters to take control over the nation's hunting
tradition. This could not have been a better signal that Senator McCain
intends to unite diverse groups in preparation for the Smack Down in
November.
Over the next few days there will be (wolf) howls from the radical
anti-hunter movement over Governor Palin's attempts to manage wolf
populations in such a way as to allow hunters to have opportunities, and
Native Americans their chance to augment larders and ancestral traditions.
But perhaps it would be best to remember that the hunting community is not
taken in by those groups that would ban hunting piecemeal and wholesale, and
the constitutionally protected right to keep and bear arms. After all,
that's what firearms activism and the National Rifle Association are all
about.
