Rush Limbaugh Quotes
The Democrats are between a rock and a hard place on it. They hate the Second Amendment.

I've been upstate in New York and I've seen those weird things these guys use when they hunt, and I'm not opposed to that, but the Heller decision and toddlers and Washington and I protected children and I think it's horrible."

The former tend not to vote for Republicans, so this was a very effective political strategy, albeit many questioned the morality, the fairness, the legality and the long term value to the nation.
