Melvin on firearms: It is also important to use them.

by David Safier

Sen. Al Melvin is trying to burnish his insurrectionist Tea Party/NRA cred with his latest tweet:

I once heard a speaker at a NRA dinner say that it is not enough for Americans to own & display firearms. It is also important to use them.

Honest. That's his complete statement. Here's a screen grab, complete with his trusty hound.

Could this be Melvin's first viral tweet? Viral, hell. It's toxic.

(h/t to Tedski at R-Cubed, who had it first, and half a dozen others who emailed the tweet around.)
