CANDIDATES USE GUN GIVEAWAYS TO STAND OUT IN 2014

Senator Lamar Alexander's (R-TN) Republican primary opponent John Carr has seized on one good way to differentiate between himself and Alexander--by holding gun giveaways.

Carr just held a contest "in which a Beretta 921a will be given away." Forty-five thousand Tennesseans signed up for their chance to win it and Carr was able to remind this captive audience: "I don't know that [Alexander's] ever sponsored or put forth legislation that helped gun owners." 

According to the Johnson City Press, Carr chose the 921a as a way to both welcome Beretta to the state and to show his support for Tennessean gun rights. As state representative Carr introduced legislation "to nullify...Obama's gun-grabbing laws."

Carr said he got the gun giveaway idea from other Republicans who have used them to differentiate between themselves and the incumbents against whom they have run. He specifically cited Georgia Republican Senate candidate Paul Broun, "who is the the middle of his second giveaway." 

"The winner of Broun's contest will either go home with a Colt...1911 pistol or a Colt Magpul 6920 Flat Dark Earth rifle." Broun is seeking to fill the seat of retiring Senator Saxby Chambliss (R) who will vacate after the November elections.

At the height of the 2013 gun control push, Breitbart News reported Rep. Steve Stockman (R-TX) held an AR-15 giveaway.

45 thousand gun loven people with their names now offered of free will to the lists being compiled by TPTB for internment and reeducation camps. Why would any body do this? 

Ok, so we know how he feels about guns and the 2nd Amendment but what about all the other Amendments? Where does he stand on all the other issues? Sarah Palin is pro-gun too... just saying ;)

Carr has not been in congress or senate and does not have voting history, so there is no way to tell the color of his feathers. You'll just have to find out or ask his opinion, and he'll be free to tell the truth or lie. At least he is right about the second amendment, that we know. There is a voting history for those who have been representatives which I find a useful tool. Its called The Freedom Index.

"The Freedom Index: A Congressional Scorecard Based on the U.S. Constitution rates congressmen based on their adherence to constitutional principles of limited government, fiscal responsibility, national sovereignty, and a traditional foreign policy of avoiding foreign entanglements."

As everybody has a right to his own opinions you may not agree on all assessments, but in general I see this index a fairly good tool.
