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.

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.

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

Yeah, it's pretty simple. 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.

No, while laudable, those accomplishments mean jack shit in terms of qualifications to make any sort of policy.

No way.  Way too much anti-gun keywords and phraseology.  Not a chance in Hell I'll vote for this turncoat.
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.
