An Arizona Senate candidate, Bobby Wilson, says he's pro-gun because he once fended off a gunman with a gun kept under his bed.
Turns out the "attacker" was his mom, and he shot her dead; he was charged with murdering her and his sister, but not convicted.

(2,275 posts)There is good in being a mix of liberal and conservative. We want our liberal freedoms and we conserve our constitution and our Earth. We can no longer associated Republicans with traditional anything. They are now simply ectremists.
If you're reading this, PLEASE be the first mainstream journalist to start normalizing the regular use of "extremist" to describe the AVERAGE Republican. The quasi-traditional Republican, such as George F. Will, bailed out 2 years ago.

(2,572 posts)I've noticed that here in Arizona, republicans seldom mention their party affiliation in ads or posters.
Can't imagine why not.

(66 posts)...writes a book about his preposterous theory on how his mother and sister died?
...decides to ascend the ladder of practicing law after getting away with double murder?
...aspires for political office knowing the above?
...when campaigning for said office, claims he was the good guy when killing his mother and sister (and burning the house down to cover his deed)?
A nutjob Arizona Republican, I guess.
Bobby Wilson (R), Murderer AZ.
...and NRA-backed, I would presume?
