Just because they're gun nuts doesn't mean they're crazy.

I'm a Democrat who owns several guns, but I don't want them in bars. Only Republicans pretend guns are a partisan issue so they can claim Democrats are coming after them. The reality is that owning a firearm is not dependent upon party membership. Hell, Joe Biden carried a Beretta on the train to work.

Sure. The more the better. They should serve beer and whiskey too. We might end up with a lot fewer of them...
