Jason Kander, a Democrat, is challenging Republican Roy Blunt for his U.S. Senate seat in Missouri. And Kander will be getting plenty of attention for his cause thanks to this remarkable new campaign ad he just released in response to Blunt attacking him on the issue of guns.
Kander, 35, is Missouris secretary of state. He also happens to be an Afghanistan war veteran. And his literally hands-on message about guns leaves quite the impression. Indeed, this is the kind of spot that can swing a race.

Its a FU to the NRA and their ad against him.
The unusual ad is a response to attacks on Kander, a Democrat, by the National Rifle Association, which has endorsed incumbent Sen. Roy Blunt, R-Mo.

(2,337 posts)9. You're right.
He didn't even have the bolt carrier group disassembled.

(38,361 posts)10. I gather from your 2 posts in this thread that:
1. You are a fan of the NRA
2. You seem to not support the Democrat in this race.
Only logical conclusion I can draw.

If he was upset about the NRA running an ad on his record concerning guns, he should have either A: challenged it and given the facts, or B: owned it and explained why. If I were running for office and someone addressed my record on guns, I wouldn't respond by performing armed drill manual at the parade ground. Just seems silly to me.
