Horsefeathers. Your voting record says different, Asshford. What your voting record says to me is that it is the Government's job to DO SOMETHING every time something happens. Why you are a Republican and seem to think More Government is the answer to every problem is my question to you, Sir! The Republican Party says it is the Party of Reagan: How is your voting record supporting a platform of Limited Government and Personal Responsibility?
Singing to the choir here....... how bout all the choir members here, regardless of political party affiliation, email the Nebraska Republican Party and point this RINO out?
From the Nebrasaka Republican Party Constitution:
--- Quote ---The NEBRASKA REPUBLICAN PARTY emphasizes its belief in personal responsibility and limited government interference in the lives of our citizens.
--- End quote ---
JimP:
You can't fix crazy, and charging somebody else for the actions of another ( crazy) person won't stop the bloodshed.
All this law will do is add expense and liability to owning a gun. Ashford knows this, but that suits him just fine: it fits in with his voting record. Watch what he DOES, not what he SAYS. What he does is attempt to expand the size of Government, and attempt to discourage the excercise of the 2nd Amendment. Smaller Government and Personal Responsibility my fuzzy butt!

JimP:
Question: Is it not already a (federal?) law that you can't supply a handgun gun to a minor?
If so, isn't Asshford just making another feel good, DO SOMETHING! show after another tradgedy( Shocking, isn't it? :dink:).
Kids can't legally own a gun. The law he proposes won't apply to a gun that was stolen: if it was taken without permission, it was in fact stolen.
JimP:
My letter to the NE GOP:
--- Quote ---It has come to my attention that Sen. Brad Ashford is once again feeling compelled to "DO SOMETHING!" in the wake of another shooting.

This is nothing more than a feel good measure: it would not apply to stolen guns, and any gun taken without permission is a stolen gun. It is more useless clutter and does not square well with the NE Republican Party Constitution, which says,
" The NEBRASKA REPUBLICAN PARTY emphasizes its belief in personal responsibility and limited government interference in the lives of our citizens. "
Civil liability and existing laws (applied equitably) should do more than enough to encourage people to secure their firearms from someone who would not use it responsibly. You can not legislate common sense, yet here Sen. Ashford is at it again, piling on more laws in a vain attempt to "DO SOMETHING!" .....
I ask you: How does this promote Less Government? Personal responsibility? I would not vote for this guy if Steve Achepol or Tom White were running against him: I'm tired of choosing the lesser of two evils! You saw what happened when a RINO ran on a national level in '08. Keep supporting him at your peril.

Well, JimP: Ashford was a Democrat just a few months before the election. He switched from Democrat to Republican I think sometime in the summer. This should explain why he does what he does. Switching parties has of course not changed his long held personal messed up worldview. Plus he ran unopposed this election so we are stuck with him for now.
