He doesn't have any room to talk either...

...Michael Steele, that is...

PHOENIX — Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele says Democrats in Washington want to take away the rights of law-abiding Americans to buy and own guns.


I have to wonder what folks in the audience were thinking as he said that, probably with a straight face to boot. After all, Steele himself has questioned the utility of semi-auto rifles before. He might not want to restrict the right of self-defense to the extent the Democrats do, but he still supports a ban on semi-auto rifles. It's worth asking how much further he would go...especially considering he'd probably be as likely to ask who hunts with a handgun, as if the Second Amendment had anything to do with hunting in the first place.
