The Yankton Press and Dakotan has a front page, above the fold story on State Rep. Julie Auch’s unsafe gun handling:
(John Marquardt said..)”I certainly support the Second Amendment wholeheartedly,” he said. “The Second Amendment doesn’t mean you just pull out a firearm anywhere, let alone a crowded room. If you pull your weapon, it should be for recreational use or to protect yourself.”
and..
“I remembered when I took the gun safety course back in 1966 and the first lesson presented was to treat every gun as a loaded gun, even if empty, and never point at anything you don’t intend to shoot,” Hunhoff added. “Maybe we all need to take a refresher course on gun safety.”
You can read the entire story here.
Honestly.. Her opponent John Marquardt & Sen. Hunhoff had it right, because that was such a histrionic, slob thing to do in terms of setting an example on gun rights. Maybe the NRA should bump her down a grade or so, because she wasn’t doing herself or the second amendment any favors with her display.
Ms. Auch is a gun slob, indeed.
You know how real hunters hate slob hunters? Real gun owners hate gun slobs, too.
Gun Crazy
How embarrassing for her district. Hopefully the people of Yankton and surrounding towns will move on from this kind of political grandstanding and elect a more level-headed representative. They deserve better than this.
MAGA mind virus strikes again.
Maybe the solution isn’t to have a lobbying group “rank” her differently. Maybe we need to care less about lobbying groups and not ignore the evidence in front of us. Remember, we are supposed to elect people that would represent us well. Does a gun slob, or a jerk, really represent you? I could care less if they represent a lobbying group well.
As the pre-eminent organization representing second amendment rights, and sponsoring hunter safety and firearm training courses, they speak with one of the loudest voices on how we view our legislator’s records on the second amendment. If they pointed out that this kind of slob behavior doesn’t represent them, it would send a very loud message.
Constituents could vote her out, but sadly, too many of them are going to sit home in the primary election.
Why should we expect the NRA to weigh in when our own SDGOP lacks the spine to hold anyone to any degree of accountability.
If they did we’d have expelled multiple degenerates like Pischke from the caucus long ago and have an actually effective legislative body.
Mr. Pischke was indeed caucused out. We shall see what a new leadership brings, if the Mad Deadbeat is back in the legislatures.
Sounds like she is unfit for office!
Something anyone paying attention to Pierre has known for two years. If there was a lie detector I don’t think she would be able to speak!
