USA-(Ammoland.com)- FBI Director James Comey has come under serious fire since Tuesday when he announced that the FBI is not recommending prosecution of Hillary Clinton over her willful negligence in handling classified material on her unauthorized, private email server. While there is plenty of grumbling about the decision in Republican circles, the truth is, Comey’s decision, and his statement of facts during his announcement, is much better for Republicans than if he had chosen to seek an indictment.

While an indictment would have been a black cloud over the Clinton campaign, it would be nothing she’s not accustomed to. The Clintons thrive under clouds. Like vampires, their only real enemy is sunlight. An indictment would have resulted in Hillary’s supporters rallying to her victimhood, and information about the case would be in short supply, with likely gag orders. But an indictment would have been unlikely, even in the face of an FBI recommendation. The chance of Loretta Lynch moving ahead with a prosecution are between slim and none. And if Lynch or one of her minions were the one making the “No Indictment” announcement, it is equally unlikely we would have gotten the juicy details of Hillary’s criminal negligence.

Meanwhile, back in the trenches of the Gun Rights War, Republicans and the NRA continue to blunder in ways that will cost Republican votes this November and beyond.

Anti-rights forces leaped at the chance to use the terrorist attack in Orlando as an excuse to launch another attack on the right to arms. Their latest rallying cry is “No Fly – No Buy,” meaning that people on the federal “No Fly” list shouldn’t be allowed to legally purchase a gun. Of course, that sounds like a very reasonable suggestion. If you knew someone was a terrorist planning to murder a bunch of people, why would you let him buy a gun? Unfortunately, sounding reasonable and being reasonable are two vastly different things. If the FBI or other law enforcement knows that someone is a terrorist planning to murder people, why is that person freely walking the street? If they are only suspected of being a terrorist, or associating with, or supporting terrorism, do they lose the presumption of innocence until proven guilty? And what exactly does it take to be considered a suspected terrorist or terrorist supporter?
