Tonight the GOP candidates will duke it out on the debate stage, but first Rand Paul had some business to attend to.

Simi Valley, Calif. – Ahead of the second GOP primary debate Wednesday night at the Reagan Library, Senator Rand Paul hit the gun range to shoot the 80,000 page long IRS tax code with an AR-15 (a modified model to meet strict California firearms law), a 1911 9mm pistol and a semi-automatic shotgun.

“We don’t have like a grenade launcher?” Paul said to reporters at the range, adding that shooting was a good way to relieve some stress before the debate. “I like getting out and shooting, as you can see I’m a novice but at least I hit the target.”

That’s right, flat tax supporter Rand Paul took out his frustrations on the tax code today. Let’s be honest, even if you aren’t a flat tax supporters, we’d all like to do the same. This is the Rand Paul his supporters love; spunky, fearless, and without mask. He’s not even my candidate of choice, but no one can deny that when it comes to protecting the rights of American citizens, few candidates even come close to nipping at his heals; the Second Amendment is definitely not excluded.
