I'm pretty much ignoring him because he already lost this race once. Unless he had a clearly articulated plan for how he would handle things differently, he isn't worth investing in a second time. Considering there are questions about how much he is spending on fundraising services (aka how much money is actually in the bank vs. how much was "raised"), it's safe to say that the GOP wouldn't want to risk another failed race with him. As for Critz and Burns, hopefully they will both reach out to NRA to see about getting a questionnaire in time for the special election. That would be a sign they are truly interested in reaching out to gun owners. If they really want to show support, there's always the option of a <a href="http://friendsofnra.org/Events.aspx?sid=39&sc=PA" rel="nofollow">Friends dinner</a> or two. They can't campaign at them, but it's a good way to meet gun owners and get the name out there. Yeah, Russell is slinging mud already.

From what I've read, Russell does plan to contest the Republican primary and some polls show him with the lead. Given the statements of all three major contenders, it looks like the people of PA-12 will have a pro-gun congressman regardless of who wins. That's a nice change from the usual statement of affairs around the country!

However, he does include it in his list of issues, says he enjoys shooting and hunting (note he includes both) and says he is a member of the NRA. http://www.timburnsforcongress.com/html/issues.html FWIW That Burns does not have a voting record on the 2nd Amendment is correct.
