Where a Redneck Jew, a Hispanic Catholic, and a Computer Geek write about Gun Rights, Self Defense and whatever else we can think about.
Perception is a huge part of what we do. I know I am firmly categorized by some as a Fudd because I feel it is idiotic to prance around strapped to an AR15 for no other reason that appear tacticool. But the image feeds the Opposition’s efforts unnecessarily .
You still think optics are not important?
Guess what voting block U.S. Congressman Dan Crenshaw just lost? He might as well ring the bell.
Semi-retired like Vito Corleone before the heart attack. Consiglieri to J.Kb and AWA. I lived in a Gun Control Paradise: It sucked and got people killed. I do believe that Freedom scares the political elites.

He is a REPRESENTATIVE of his district. IF they are from his district, there is NO reason he can’t meet them or take a picture with them. I’m SURE he’s NOT so naïve to think they aren’t going to reproduce it elsewhere and not just hang it on their walls.
Did he release anything saying how much he agreed with them? NEED a wee bit more than a picture with some ignorant people…..
You are right… and still the optics suck for him.
And rust me, Reps will visit wth who they want or make excuses
“NEED a wee bit more than a picture with some ignorant people…..”
Have you read his tweets? Seen his comments on confiscation? The real problem with this photo is that people no longer trust him on gun rights. That erosion of trust started with his endorsement of Red Flag laws, and this picture reinforces that distrust.
People on “our side” who float this crap should get no quarter.
If I were in Congress I’d have some button down AAC skull and cross rifles shirts in my office just to change into for pics like this.
Or a “Molon Labe” flag to hang in the background. 🙂
