For 2012, a “Litmus Test” for Legislators

I’ve read many comments about “buyers remorse” in reference to the people we elected to state and national government in 2010.

How can we really tell if a legislator or candidate for office is “fit” to serve us ?  L. Neil Smith identified a good “litmus test” in his article “Why Did It Have To Be … Guns“:

If a politician isn’t perfectly comfortable with the idea of his average constituent, any man, woman, or responsible child, walking into a hardware store and paying cash—for any rifle, shotgun, handgun, machinegun, anything—without producing ID or signing one scrap of paper, he isn’t your friend no matter what he tells you.

How many in our current herd of RINO’s in NC or DC would pass this test ?

Sheriff Harrison of Wake County doesn’t pass this test … video … skip to 00:01:00 to hear Donnie Harrison:

I want to know who is buying those pistols.

It’s not that I want that authority, but I think it’s good to know we’re looking that closely at who we’re going to give a pistol permit to…

Control… permission… sounds kinda “passive-aggressive” to me.

Think about this as you prepare for the next election cycle.

Thanks for the link. I was surprised at him. Not that I was surprised to hear him say such a thing, I was surprised at the tone deafness. I would have expected him to try a little harder to cover up his true feelings. It does show how out of touch he is with people like us.
