What an idiot. Noticing the decline then nation has to be done from the "nation" not in a foreign country. Timothy McVeigh was also a decorated soldier. Being a decorated soldier makes one a decorated soldier not necessarily fit to be in politics. Using the flag and toting automatic weapon in a political ad says to me you must have enjoy killing of human beings and wouldn't think twice about subverting common rights with military means. There is a reason the Constitution says the President has to be a civilian. He's not running for President but I'm sure his sniper eyes are on the prize.

I wonder if while overseas he noticed the declining state of the families his bullets came into contact with.

the "coach" experience may just be political hyperbole...the State of Tennessee license verification web site does not show any listing for Van Huss.

From his site, "The American citizen should have the right to keep and to bear arms equal to that of the Army infantryman or the Marine rifleman"
Hell, why stop there? I say the citizen should have the right to RPG and tanks. If we're trying to keep ourselves safe from a tyrannical government, what's a simple rifle going to do against the power of the Pentagon? Where do I get the permit for my missile silo?
