2. Karma is really turning out to be a bitch for the Duke

May 2012

I haven't checked but I'll bet he voted against the restoration of firearms ownership to felons at every opportunity while serving in Congress.

Given the guy's military record, I feel sort of sorry for him, but I can't ignore the fact that he was a particularly egregious offender and frankly, a thief. He's no better than the criminals he wanted to punish while a congresscritter.

And that letter - jeezus effing christ. That was pathetic. Frankly I question whether anyone who can't express themselves any better than that should be allowed within a mile of a firearm.
