From your link, a helluva resume--what's not to love? MADem Mar 2014 #1

probably nothing not to like, which is why he has so much opposition among our gungeoners CreekDog Mar 2014 #2

Aaaaaah....there it is, then! MADem Mar 2014 #3

Incredible resume etherealtruth Mar 2014 #6

the gungeoners are falling over each other to oppose him CreekDog Mar 2014 #13

I knew there was a reason I stayed out of that pit! nt MADem Mar 2014 #5

Why in the world would anyone object to that? n/t etherealtruth Mar 2014 #7

Same reason they are upset with this doctor. They don't like folks messing with their gunz, Hoyt Mar 2014 #8

I thought "they" were all about education? etherealtruth Mar 2014 #9

They support education by NRA, besides most docs don't know difference between a clip or magazine, Hoyt Mar 2014 #10

maybe you have a point... CreekDog Mar 2014 #11

Good poll. I bet most Gungeoneers aren't answering or would vote differently on a gun site. Hoyt Mar 2014 #16

also fascinating is how none of them will admit guns are the reason for their opposition CreekDog Mar 2014 #17

Yep. They aren't fooling anybody. Hoyt Mar 2014 #18

except for themselves CreekDog Mar 2014 #19

What is not to like? n-t Logical Mar 2014 #15

What are Murthy's views on guns? ManiacJoe Mar 2014 #24

only one of them in the gungeon thread will even admit considering guns CreekDog Mar 2014 #25

You said that already. How about answering the question. ManiacJoe Mar 2014 #27

He supports a "host" of gun control measures, according to Think Progress Jgarrick Mar 2014 #29
