Ramsey Campaigns at Firing Range as Handgun Permit Killer Faces Jury

Ron Ramsey, Prince of Shamelessness, is holding a campaign event today at a firing range in Memphis. In the governor's race, Ramsey has traveled the state boasting about his passage of the state's handgun permit law and claiming none of our proud Second Amendment superheroes ever have caused even the tiniest bit of trouble. Here's Ramsey's standard rap on this subject:

The liberal press went berserk. I remember they kept saying, 'they call it the wild west bill.' ... Not that the press would be biased about stuff like this. I know it's going to shock you just a tad. They said we're going to have shootouts at stop signs. We're going to have people that fight over a loaf of bread in a grocery store and kill each other. We now have 270,000 people, including me, with a handgun carry permit here in the state of Tennessee. You know how much trouble we've had with them? None. None. ... I'm proud that I've helped sponsor this legislation.

As Ramsey speaks today, a criminal court jury only a few miles away is about to begin deliberating whether to send a handgun permit holder to prison for killing an unarmed man as his three children watched in horror during an argument over a parking space outside a restaurant.
