I have very many e-mails like this one:

Guns are one of my primary litmus tests. You cannot be for freedom and also for restricting gun ownership at the same time. And even the Dems had to admit that the gun issue hurt them in the last few elections. There are a *lot* of voting gun owners. And I’m one American who most certainly does want to see New Yorkers running around with guns. More guns = less crime.

And this one:

I’m 42, a reservist just back from Afghanistan, and started reading NR in junior high school. If the Republicans nominate a candidate that views me as a subject and not a citizen with respect to firearms, I’ll vote for my wife – just like I did in November when the “Republican”
candidate for Senate in Ohio was Mike DeWine. Perhaps there’s something about being a prosecutor that skews one’s view of the relationship between citizens and their government.
