Party Guns
Republicans have them:
When moderator Grover Norquist asked how many firearms the candidates own, the current RNC chairman, Mike Duncan, who despite presiding over his party’s 2008 electoral trouncing is reapplying for his job, noted proudly that he claims four handguns and two rifles.
Rival Katon Dawson, chairman of the South Carolina GOP, said that he has “too many to count.”
Former OH Secretary of State Ken Blackwell was willing to count. Seven, he said, adding: “And I’m good.”
MI GOP chairman Saul Anuzis said he has two guns, but in case the RNC’s 168 committee members, who will vote this month for the next party chairman, wanted to verify his stash, Anuzis said, perhaps only half jokingly, that he is not allowed to carry them in Washington.
Chip Saltsman, who managed Mike Huckabee’s presidential campaign, offered up a list so long it was hard to track the pistol persuasion.
And GOPAC head Michael Steele, a one-term lieutenant governor of blue state MD, was the only man on the panel to say that he hasn’t a single firearm.

Shame on Michael Steele. Hubby and I are big fans of his. Too bad we don’t know him personally, or we’d happily drag him out to the range to work on getting him outfitted properly. 😉

At least repubs will know who they’re getting.

Braggarts. The correct answer is “several, but not as many as I’d like,” which could lead to a followup question on what their next firearm purchase would be….

My husband once referred me to an amusing quote regarding the number of sex partners a woman should admit to having, when asked: “more than the Virgin Mary but less than Madonna.”
I offered up a similar one for the response you should give when someone asks you how many guns you have: “more than Sarah Brady, but less than Ted Nugent.”
