Joe Manchin (D-WV) said he was for gun rights<\/a>, boasted he was endorsed by the NRA, and even showed himself shooting a rifle at the &#8220;cap and trade&#8221; bill. That was in 2010. In 2013, he introduced a bill that would &#8220;only add gun checks to online sales and gun shows.&#8221; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/Big-Government\/2013\/04\/29\/3-Myths-Manchin-Keeps-Spreading-About-The-Machin-Toomey-Compromise\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">That was a myth<\/a>&nbsp;among <a href=\"http:\/\/www.volokh.com\/2013\/04\/15\/the-pro-gun-provisions-of-manchin-toomey-are-actually-a-bonanza-of-gun-control\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">many <\/a>other <a href=\"http:\/\/gunowners.org\/congress04112013.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">problems<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Sen. Kay Hagan (D-NC) said she supported the Second Amendment in 2008 when she won against a lackluster Liddy Dole in the Obama landslide. That <a href=\"http:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.blogspot.com\/2013\/04\/grnc-hagan-says-your-vote-doesnt-matter.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">didn&#8217;t stop her<\/a> from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.opensecrets.org\/news\/issues\/guns\/vote_2013.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">voting <\/a>for Manchin-<br \/>\nToomey in 2013 along with gun prohibitionists like Barbara Boxer (D-CA), Chuck Schumer (D-NY), and the late Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ).<\/p>\n<p>Now comes Kentucky Sec. of State Alison Lundergan Grimes who is running against Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY). She said she disagrees with Obama on guns, coal, and the EPA. She even ran an ad showing herself at the skeet range. She even chides McConnell&#8217;s waving a Kentucky long rifle a&#8217;la Charlton Heston at the 2014 NRA Annual Meeting saying, &#8220;That&#8217;s not the way you hold a gun.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/z7Pa16JPUlY\" width=\"560\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Then <a href=\"http:\/\/news.yahoo.com\/grimes-opposes-gun-show-loophole-205136436--election.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">she was a guest on the Kentucky Sports Radio show<\/a> in which she said was for the Second Amendment but supported closing the mythical &#8220;gun show loophole.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nI&#8217;m sorry but if you say you support closing the non-existent &#8220;gun show loophole&#8221; (sic) then that means you support universal background checks. Answering a question about whether you&#8217;d support banning any guns by saying &#8220;I support the Second Amendment&#8221; is nothing more than obfuscation. You want to appear gun friendly but you are supporting exactly the same thing as Bloomberg, Watts, and the rest.<\/p>\n<p>Mitch McConnell is not my favorite Republican. I think what he&#8217;s done to undercut the non-establishment wing of the Republican Party is stupid politics. However, I vote the Second Amendment and he supports gun rights. I am also well aware that we are but one Supreme Court justice away from seeing Heller and McDonald overturned. The only way to ensure Obama doesn&#8217;t get a chance to seat another Kagan or Sotomayor on the Supreme Court is with a Republican-majority Senate. If Grimes wins, that isn&#8217;t going to happen.<\/p>\n<p><b>UPDATE:<\/b> Alison Lundergan Grimes&#8217; support for closing the non-existent gun show loophole gets a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/CoalitiontoStopGunViolence\/posts\/935723546455211\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8220;hallelujah&#8221; from the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence<\/a> (sic).<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"tr_bq\"><p>\n<i>Can we get a &#8220;hallelujah&#8221;?
