Vote for This Republican or He'll Use a Cannon on Obama or Something
Meet "the only licensed firearms dealer in America running for Congress," and by his own account, maybe the only congressional candidate "who will stand up to Obama" with a cannon if necessary, which it won't be, if only you'll vote for him.
John Stone hates big government so much that he's willing to leave his longtime Washington career as a staffer for three different congressmen, in which he's made $68,250 in the past half-year, in order to run for election as a congressman. He also probably pulls down a paycheck as the head of a "nonpartisan nonprofit" called the U.S. Freedom Foundation, which is weird, since neither its home state of Virginia, nor the IRS, nor ProPublica, have any record of a nonprofit by that name.
But Stone's totally an outsider, you see, because none of the big government that pays him has donated any funds to his campaign. In fact, he'd like to vote out the House Republican leadership, too, along with Obama.
Rebelliousness! It's in his blood, understand, as a descendant of Georgia revolutionaries and as a guy with a cannon and probably many more guns and also as a graduate of the public policy program at Pat Robertson's Regents University. Just take a gander at his rebellious campaign ad:
