Our only hope there is that hopefully they remember what happened the last time they tried to ban our guns. Many of them are now
former Congressmen.

The thing with him is though, the fact he is the 3rd party candidate puts him at a extreme disadvantage, regardless of his platform. This country is frozen in a 2-party system, and I think its not doing us any good. Ron Paul got some amazing financial support during the Rep. primary, but no one seemed to really take him serious or give any attention. I think the same will be true for Barr. He's making news with his announcement to run right now, but by the time the election rolls around, is anyone going to know who he is?? Some different options would be refreshing for this election.

A 3rd party candidate will never get any media time. They follow the bandwagon. They want what sells & advances their social agenda.
