John Bel Edwards is a Democrat.
http://www.ontheissues.org/Governor/Joh ... ontrol.htm

Edwards indicated support for the following principles regarding guns.

• Reauthorize the ban on the sale or transfer of semi-automatic guns, except those used for hunting.
  Ease federal restrictions on the purchase and possession of guns.
  Allow citizens to carry concealed guns.
  Require background checks on gun sales between private citizens at gun shows.
  Require a license for gun possession.
  Edwards adds, "We must preserve the 2nd Amendment rights, but also maintain records of individuals and guns for a small period of time."

He is supposed to have an A rating from the NRA.

Require a license for gun possession.

This horse left the barn a long time ago. Does he intend to do house to house searches?
Time to invest in PVC stock.

I suppose you could claim you use the Ma Deuce for hunting pigs and gators.

This guy never plans on visiting any of the outlying parishes for a gator hunt, does he? >.<

After I get done donating to the Syrian Refugee thing on the other thread (no sarcasm), you can probably squeeze another $20-$30 out of me to send our club ... manifesto, message, code of conduct, whatever... to newly elected Dems just so they know we're out here. Are we doing this already? Or are other Liberals and Dems finding out about us the same way I did...by totally random chance?

my semiautomatic garand was likely used to hunt japanese and north korean soldiers. can i keep it? my sks, ar15 and 10/22 are out, though, since they've never actually killed anything.
i need a license to exercise a constitutional right?

Well, the joke really is that no state agency has the ability to track/maintain those records to any sort of efficacy. Also, how exactly is that going to be paid for? It will die in the LA legislature.

It will be paid for by the cuts the legislature and Bobby Jindal made to Planned Parenthood, Medicaid, and the Lousyana eduction system.

I've read about and discussed him with friends in NOLA and it has been written that he is a dem in name only. 98% rating by the nra and 100% in whatever the anti roe-wade group is.

It could be an example of the organization rating pols based on criteria that have nothing to do with the RKBA. That is exactly what they should not be in the business of doing.

Like Mitt Romney?

I've just finished googling him and from what I've read is that he is a pro gun anti abortion blue dog democrat. To me the best part of his victory is that he put diaper dave out to pasture and he will need to find a new career. I have my doubts that with the problems in Louisiana he is going to be able to undertake any of the dncs gun control bloomberg wet dream projects.

Diaper Dave can now start his career as a blogger for prostitution reviews and ratings in NOLA.
