Indeed, I couldn't agree more. I have problems with both major
parties on different issues, let me know if you find a solution.
The Republican party has it's own anti-Second Amendment contingent,
basically the same aristocratic attitude I see in certain self
identified Democrats. Both seek to maintain power for themselves
while denying it to others.
I was actually pleased with the recent defection, I like to keep
those checks and balances active.
