(51,640 posts)1. When the Repub congressman who was shot a few months
ago recovers and goes back to the House telling everyone that he is still in favor of allowing citizens to own guns without restrictions you know that this will continue to happen over and over. Men love their guns (yes, I am aware of the Freudian implications)and will give them up the same day they give up their Viagra Rx.

I love him and Dick Blumenthal, my other senator. I don't know how Chris rises to distinction in the party but I will support him always.
