The NRA must be really, really scared of Rick Nolan.

Either that, or they've suddenly realized what a lame-ass standard-bearer they've gotten themselves in Millionaire Partydude Stewart Mills III.

Their attack ads are almost comical.

Nolan never should have made the comment about hunting ducks with rifles. Don't forget, even though it was 20 years ago, the 8th voted for Grams instead of Wynia because if the gun control issue.

of course I would vote for Nolan. He was my U.S. Representative when I was a kid. He made a mistake when he made the comment about hunting ducks with a rifle.

What laws does Mills not believe in?

Wants to expand gun rights. More guns. More hunts. More mining. More logging. Less restrictions for the environment. And more....
He is a man without a brain because you see he has many brains and they do not belong to him. They belong to the Koch bros and others that he will hand over that corner of the State to.
I suspect he is anti-abortion by looking at the HUGE cross on his cabin front and multiple children.

What's wrong with that? You do know that hunting is a guaranteed right as part of the Minnesota Constitution?

Ironically, there is a Mills Fleet Farm banner ad on this page of DU on my iPod.

Edit to add: I thought you were commenting on hunting laws.
