This guy strikes me as the douche player on the really good high school football team. He was there, yeah, and probably gave a journeyman performance, probably well liked, certainly skilled and by no means a poser. But somehow the one person telling you the most about his on field heroics and super bad assery is.... him.
He's obviously a self aggrandizing, name dropping, attention whoring self-promoter. That he walked the walk and talked the talk as a SEAL does not make this any less so. His view on guns is tainted by a huge dose of "the only one professional enough-ism" -- he's an elitist in his mind on gun and defense issues, and no less so than some stuffed-shirt senator feels like a part of the elite, or the old French Revolution era aristocrats viewed themselves as part of the elite, the privileged few, the philosopher kings who get to rule and control and feel almost entitled to it. Hey Brandon: Smell my ass. It stinks like the rancorous shit you're trying to slip into the NRA. Fuck you, man. Fuck you right in the ear. |

Supporting gun control is still supporting gun control, no matter what branch of the service you use as your personal penis pump.

LULZ, You guys don't know a lot of SEALs do you? Pretty much par for the course.

Not in the MIL, but I don't see how being a SEAL Sniper qualifies you as having an educated say in the legalities of firearms. There are plenty of great hunters out there that literally know nothing about guns as a field - which is 100% fine as long as you don't try to sell yourself as something you are not. For the same reason, just cause Person X is a successful NASCAR driver doesn't mean I want them as my mechanic.
From what I've seen about Mr. Webb, he seems like a nice guy, but I wouldn't vote for him either with statements like that. Compromise isn't always a good thing. Compromise can get people killed, which I imagine he should know that better than me. You don't "compromise" on gun laws, instead you implement the best plan possible. Although I like guns, my conclusion on certain legalities comes from statistical facts. From Mr. Webb's comments, it is not clear that he understands the facts governing firearms as he is not transparent about his intentions - which is a huge problem for me. Further more, the "compromise" comment, him citing his military experience as qualifying him on social issues, and the "gun owner idiots" comment raise red flags for me. |

Larry's been a Benefactor Life Member for the 12 years I've known him and frequently donates to NRA-ILA. He's the most pro-gun person--- for everyone--- that I've ever met. Back in the spring he was taking up donations for the NRA in his classes and even offered class rebates for NRA members. Like him or not, he's 110% on our side.

Nope. Universal training for CCW? Nope, nope, nope. He likes the term "common sense gun laws" too much. He's somebody's plant. yep Didn't babs boxer come up with this nonsense a few years back when a bill pushing nation wide ccw permits were talked about? |

This guy is a plant by the anti-gun left, wrapped up in a sniper package. Alert! Don't vote for this douche!

I'll bet dollars to donuts that his candidacy is being funded by Michael Bloomberg.

Fuck this guy.
Anyone who cannot tell you his position and tells you to check back later is up to no good. |

Someone ought to offer to debate this guy. He needs to be asked to his face if he's been in contact with any anti gun groups.

I'm sure Wilcow will take him to task. He's on that program all the time.

I dont know who he is but if he hangs much more chain on that sewer pipe he is going to have a mess in that garage.
He must be some kind of sniper. Burning a brush pile with diesel does not make you qualified to be on the board of Exxon so why should shooting a gun for armed services make you qualified to be on the board of the NRA |

Oh, yeah, fuck that guy. That community churns out douchebags like nobody's business.

He is no supporter of the second amendment.
"Shall not be infringed" not "shall not be infringed as long as you have the appropriate training (as determined by the Government) and aren't an idiot (as determined by the Government)" |

How does being a former sniper make one an expert at anything but being a sniper? That dude has obviously been hanging out at arfcom to think that mil service puts you above citizens and sniper training makes you a god.

I doubt he'd make the same response if the question was about child rape. Personally, I'm starting to think there's something to be said about "quiet professionalism". Are there even any wartime books from a member of CAG? I'm aware of Haney's book, but personally can't think of a single one written during the GWOT by an active/retired member. |

"compromise" and "common sense" when applied to the converstion of firearms is all I need to know about fuck face.

His answers to questions are like obama's answers when he was running in 2008. He says nothing.
He dodges giving a direct answer and has to answer LATER? Red flag here. Sounds like he will CAVE to anti gunners in a heart beat. NO THANKS! |

The use of the idiom "common sense gun laws" combined with "compromise" is a HUGE red flag... that is the language every anti-gunner uses.
Brandon, I like you, and I've heard you on Wilkow many times... but you're doing to have to tell us quite a bit more about the specifics of your positions before NRA members will even THINK of voting for you. NRA Endowment member here, BTW. ETA: From Sylvan's link above: I don’t have all the solutions on this issue but I do know that I’m personally ready to compromise to limit mass shootings, and I’m ready to have an intelligent conversation on this issue. If leading gun organizations like the NRA don’t take a leadership role in proposing realistic solutions, then they will have failed to truly represent gun owners. View Quote Ummm... no. You'd better walk that sh*t back mighty quick, Brandon... or you're going to have a VERY short campaign for the NRA board. |

The result will be that politicians will end up passing more ridiculous laws that don’t make sense for anyone. The issue is cultural also, you can’t just go after gun control.

As a gun owner, I've compromised too much. Not another inch, if I can help it. And I certainly won't vote for someone who doesn't feel the same way. Pardon the language, but fuck him.
