What was he thinking? (Congressional Candidate for the 8th district)

**Bang** · March 3rd, 2016, 02:29 PM

Dr. Marc Duone, a neuro-psychologist from Plumstead Twp, has had a pow-wow with the Courier Times editorial board and explained his positions in running for congress in the 8th district. One of the things he told the board is, "I am a licensed (gun) carrier and a lousy shot. It is the law of the land and I absolutely support the constitution".

Is it just me? That I would expect a psychologist to realize what he said will elicit responses such as, "Great! He's loose among us and God knows who he'll hit if he ever shoots that gun in a public setting". ??

Probably an attempt at faux humility, but wow I wish he hadn't said that.

Define lousy.

10 rounds at 10 yards:

into a 10" paper plate
through the same hole

To some, #1 is sufficient. Others are not satisfied until they achieve #2.

I do understand the intent of your post. He just handed the antis a (very small) amount of ammunition.

Anti's do not allow anything to appear small when they twist the information.

Those days are over. They just completely make shit up now. And then quote each other forever on the madeup stuff.

Now we are down the micro judgements of fellow supporters. Brillant

As always, it's the smartest people that say the stupidest shit.

I think I get what he's trying to say, owning a gun is a right and nothing else matters such as training, competency or proficiency to use it etc. I hope he's a little more eloquent and thoughtful next time.

Met him tonight. He is aware of the reactions to what he said, and asked me my specific concern. I told him as I wrote above. He had other things to discuss and didn't dwell on it, which of course is good management of available time.

Here is his website: WWW.duomeforcongrerss.com

I would encourage all to look into it if you are covered by the 8th district.
