The Ad Heard Round the State

US Seventh District Republican candidate Marsha Blackburn, State Senator from Brentwood, is a known person across the state, but hasn't been running ads here in the West of the state, where her positions and votes are less well-known. Until last week, that is, when she let loose a doozy!

The ad begins by mentioning her concealed carry gun permit, for which she earned a fifty out of fifty qualification. It also notes that she owns a .38 Smith and Wesson. Three shots ring out! Then comes the standard boilerplate about her positions on the Second Amendment. In the modern media climate, such an ad is astonishing in its pro-gun honesty. One can only imagine how the Memphis Flyer and the Commercial Appeal will handle this one.

Until next time, that is all.
