As his campaign develops, I'm sure Bill will comment himself. In
the meantime, have you ever met or heard of a farmer who didn't
have guns or hunted? <grin>

Not speaking for Bill, but only for myself, our old high school
STILL has a trap and skeet team. Back when we were in school, we
grew up with guns and hunted, shot target and kept guns in the
trunk or behind the seat of a truck. My first .410 was from the
principal of the high school, who rented a place from my Dad and
who took me hunting as a child. My future wife and I would
frequently take a Ruger .22 along on motorcycle drives up to the
MO River to shoot at debris. I can't imagine someone with a
similar background NOT feeling as I do about guns or hunting.

When Wilson yelled, “You LIE” during
the joint session of Congress,
he could have been addressing any
of the politicians, not just Obama.
