Misfire: Anti-NRA 'candidate' Mike Dickinson tweets article praising concealed carry

Reading is fundamental, especially if you’re going to tweet a link to a “great article” that apparently runs contrary to your campaign. Keep in mind that this was pseudo-candidate Mike Dickinson’s stance on guns and the NRA back in April:

So it’s unclear why the NRA could “suck that” when it comes to an article praising concealed carry and its effect on crime in Chicago.

@DLoesch have you seen this idiotic tweet from @VoteMike2014? Claiming #gunsense victory while citing a pro-gun art. https://t.co/i1rELpuKpI

It turns out you Tea Party types don’t understand nuance. When Dickinson said he was declaring war on the NRA, he didn’t mean he had a problem with concealed carry. It turns out he’s a huge fan of gun ownership and owns a gun (or make that a couple guns, or even several guns … he doesn’t seem to recall how many he owns).
