Many A1F Daily readers likely remember Howard Dean coming unhinged during the 2004 presidential primary, crazily screaming “yeeeeaaaaah” during a speech in Iowa.

Now Dean, former Vermont governor and past chair of the Democratic National Convention, has again come unhinged, this time trying to convince Americans that Republican candidates opposing more restrictive gun laws paves the way for a Democrat to win the White House.

“This is a no-win issue (for Republicans),” Dean said on MSNBC. “They’ll beat it to death in the primary, then everything those Republican candidates say will be put up in a television ad in the general election … I can see Republican women in droves going to vote for Hillary, or Bernie if he wins, on this issue.”

While history has proven Dean’s theory wrong in the past, such a statement is a direct call to action for all Americans—especially women—who believe in the Second Amendment and who respect our right to keep and bear arms.
