The night before Alabama's Senate runoff, Republican candidate Roy Moore pulled a gun out of his pocket at a campaign rally.

Per a video of the Monday rally, the former Alabama chief justice said false ads had said he didn't believe in the Second Amendment.

"Nearly three months of negative ads that we couldn't answer with money because we didn't have it," he said. "Ads that were completely false, that I don't believe in the Second Amendment."

He then paused before pulling the gun out.

"I believe in the Second Amendment," he said, leading to cheers from the crowd.

What a lunatic.

Also, I see a trend. "Second Amendment" politicians like Moore actually do not atually understand the U.S Constitution. Moore actually violated the law on purpose and the establishment clause in the first Amendment.

What law did he break? He did not threaten anyone with it, he did not shoot anyone with it. He was not aggressive with it. He simply held it up as proof that he is a gun owner and that he supports the 2nd Amendment.

And the establishment clause has to do with separation of church and state. Not guns. Looks to me like you don't understand the Constitution.

He was seperately referring to Moore's refusal to remove the ten commandments from the courtroom.

Ah I see. However the courts have ruled before that the 10 commandments may be displayed if they have been there for long enough time. Is that the case here or were they put up recently?

He had them installed somewhere between 2001 and 2003.
 
The guy sure does seem like a 'mavericky' fundamentalist nutter from what I've read. But it's not that surprising to me for Alabama.

Sad, but not surprising. I doubt Strange was any prize.
