That would be Senator Joe Manchin, Democrat. Who famously used a rifle during a campaign commercial vowing to kill the EPA Cap N Trade bill. He certainly has touted his NRA credentials. However, just like most Liberal politicians, he’s stuck the wet pinkie in the air and pivoted so quick his feet are 6″ in the ground now that the Progressives have turned a sad tragedy into a political cause celebre. Sure, he said “I don’t know anyone that needs 30 rounds in a clip to go hunting“, but he certainly seem to enjoy himself while shooting this tricked out semi-automatic AR-15 WITH AN EXTENDED MAGAZINE. Throw in a red dot sight, and he’s ready to go hunting too.
Once again, we see someone taking advantage when it benefits him and throwing it under the political bus when he realizes it would kill him politically.
Consistency? Hardly ever when it comes to Democrats. He knows that he’s become a poster child for gun control simply because he’s made a big deal of his NRA credentials – so if HE says so-called assault rifles with big mags should be banned, well, that should be the end of the discussion.
