Attorney General Dustin McDaniel is not going to miss an opportunity to demagogue a gun issue, as he does today by joining a minority of U.S. attorney generals in a letter opposing a renewal of U.S. limits on certain types of semi-automatic rifles. There’s a governor’s race in 2014 to consider and Rep. Mike Ross is already out front on this. So now comes Dustin, Second Amendment blazing..

It’s also a straw man. McDaniel is opposing something President Obama has not proposed.
