LOUISVILLE -- Kentucky's senior U.S. senator, Mitch McConnell (R-Louisville), was honored by the National Rifle Association at Friday afternoon's NRA Leadership forum in Louisville with the annual "Defender of the Constitution" award from the organization.

"I happen to believe more guns in lawful hands means less crime," said McConnell. "I'm sleeping well tonight knowing the NRA is in town."
