This is encouraging: Dr. Rice and Gun Rights

According to The Volokh Conspiracy, Dr. Condi Rice is a strong supporter of gun rights, primarily as a result of childhood experiences where her family needed guns to defend themselves against "white vigilantes" in the 1960's.

Good, good. I like guns. I don't actually *own* one, and I've never fired anything heavier than a BB gun, but I like 'em. I intend to get a concealed weapons permit soon after I turn 21. That should give me plenty of time to research my options as weapons go.

It was also good to see the Assault Weapons Ban (aka the ban on scary rifles) go away.

And it's good to see people at the top of the government who take an "absolutist" position on the 2nd ammendment. I don't know a lot about Dr. Rice, but the more I've learned, the more I like about her positions.
