DOD Nominee Withdraws Himself From Consideration After Anti-Gun Comments

[Acer-m14]

Dr. Dean Winslow might have been a slam dunk for the role he was nominated for at the Department of Defense. As a former Air Force flight surgeon, the role of assistant secretary of defense for health affairs would have been right in his wheelhouse.

Unfortunately, he also said that he thought it was “insane” that regular citizens could buy an AR-15 following the Sutherland Springs tragedy.

While his role at the Department of Defense would have had no impact on the nation’s gun policy, now it won’t matter as Winslow has removed himself from consideration.

Last sentence in the article; "Maybe this will be a nice object lesson for others to keep their anti-gun opinions to themselves."

I vehemently disagree. I think any anti-gunners should be vocal about it so we know exactly who they are and can do our best to keep them from any positions of power.

We need to strike hard with progun leaders. And legislation.

Agreed. I worry what will happen come the mid-term elections.
