I live in Wisconsin he has my vote, for many reasons.
I was concerned about Romney when he was Gov of Mass and banned some firearms etc,with this guy whispering in his ear I feel a whole lot better
I hope that's not his idea of a concealed weapon. :-)Quote:

He cant be that bad...
I live in Wisconsin and he will have my vote. Paul Ryan basically votes the party line. You can be pretty confident he will support any pro 2a legislation. Romney's history of gun control nearly had me opting for a write-in, but having a good Vice President probably swayed my vote to him.
The VP's job is to stay out of the way and always have a bag packed and ready to attend a state funeral somewhere in a 3rd world country. Very few presidents have actually used their VP as part of the "team" in making policy!Quote:

Only in the case of a tie vote . . . which is a rare occurrence.Quote:

I think that Ryan is a great choice to protect our 2nd Amendment Rights. Romney may not have that strong of pro 2nd A., but I really don't think we have anything to fear from him.
The other two? I shutter in fear of what may happen if they get a second term.
Sorry LenS, but it is the only choice....IMO.
Nothing to add here but Spirit and I think alike. A second term will show the real adjenda towards our second amendment. Just laying in wait.Quote:

Yes, we have no other choice but to support them.
Glad to see he hunts and is a 2A supporter. Yes, he would have a lot of influence sitting as V. President.
God forbid, if something happens to the Prez he would become the Prez & he certainly would have the ability to influence at that point... Just look at how he could 50+1 it...Quote:
