Paul Ryan’s<\/a>\u00a0pro-gun credentials<\/a> are making the rounds in the media.<\/p>\n

From Business Week<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“… Another strong opinion held by the presumptive Republican vice presidential nominee, although not one that has received much attention so far, is that he is very, very pro-gun. \u00a0His passion for hunting and for gun rights could make a critical difference in battleground states …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Dave Workman adds<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“… Mitt Romney\u2019s<\/a> choice of Wisconsinite Paul Ryan as his running mate was a bold move on more than one level, and one that should hit the right nerve with American gun owners worried about Romney\u2019s record on gun rights … Adding Ryan to the ticket brings credibility with gun owners; a commodity Republicans need to get gun owners off the couches and away from their keyboards to the voting booths. Where Romney certainly can depend upon Ryan\u2019s savvy with a budget, he should also rely on the congressman\u2019s counsel where gun and hunting rights are concerned …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I agree with this. \u00a0What I find interesting, though, is that I have not seen the antis attacking Ryan yet. \u00a0Considering how much blood-dancing they’ve been doing lately I would have assumed they’d jump on him right from the start.<\/p>\n
