Preston sends us a link from the Morgantown Journal<\/a> of a Q&A they did with West Virginia’s junior senator, Joe Manchin. But the only part you need to read is the disclaimor that the Journal put in the beginning of the interview;<\/p>\n

Editor’s note: This question and answer session was permitted under the condition that The Journal would not ask questions regarding gun control legislation or the Second Amendment, as requested by the senator’s staff.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I quit reading the article after that. One of the biggest issues of the day, and Manchin hasn’t been at all forthcoming about what his plans are for the legislation currently being discussed in the Senate and he doesn’t want to respond to those questions about it. All he’s told West Virginians about his views is that “no one is going o take your guns”, but then, tell me why he’s working with known serial gun-grabber Chuck Schumer trying to craft a stronger system for background checks when Schumer himself has said that he wants to use background checks as a backdoor to registration and registration as a backdoor to confiscation?<\/p>\n

Manchin’s inability to craft a coherent message on gun control only leads to speculation here. None of it favors Manchin. We may be stuck with him for six more years, but he may end up being the senior Senator from West Virginia before we get to replace him. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
