I alluded to this about 5th U.S. Congressional District candidate Susan Brooks. She's just one example of an A-rated politician who is not deserving of the grade. From what I have seen in person, transcripts and on YouTube she is probably a C at best.....(see my post here explaining why...
Here's Susan Brooks explaining her position on the 2nd Amendment. Note that she talks about hunting as if that was the purpose for it. The 40 second mark tells you everything you need to know.

Background: I was curious about the design of the Coonan, how well it operates, if it is reliable, and just how accurate it is. I will make some comparisons between the Coonan and an L-framed S&W 686. My curiosity was spurred on by an earlier post by Michiana -...

I got an EGW 40600 Weaver 93 rail and wish to mount a Trijicon RMR to it. I bought a low mount Trijicon RM34W to attach to the rail. The mount has a bit of play when placed in the rail slot AND not tightened. Mount is a...
Sen. Richard Lugar to seek re-election in 2012
