EDWARDS COMPLETES ANTI-GUN DREAM TICKET

EDWARDS COMPLETES ANTI-GUN DREAM TICKET

On July 6, the apparent Democratic Presidential nominee, Senator John Kerry (D-Mass.) chose former rival Senator John Edwards (D-N.C.) as his vice-presidential running mate.

Edwards has much in common with Kerry when it comes to gun issues. Both "Johns" ask us to believe the absurd and specious assertion that they are longtime hunters who support the Second Amendment, when the actions of both have unequivocally proven the opposite. Both have amassed abysmal voting records on firearm rights, with Kerry earning the notorious distinction of being among the most solidly "F-rated" candidates ever rated by NRA's Political Victory Fund (PVF). And last spring, both took time off from the campaign trail to return to Washington and vote for amendments to extend the "assault weapons" ban, and to effectively end gun shows--issues they viewed as compelling enough to warrant a return to Washington, D.C., after long absences, and which show gun owners where they truly stand.

Though they're sure to continue their deception by saying whatever they deem politically expedient, Kerry and Edwards can't have it both ways. Their records clearly speak for themselves.

The "Johns" are not pro-hunting and they are not pro-Second Amendment. And they can count on having one more thing in common during this year's campaign--NRA-ILA revealing, and holding them accountable for, their true positions on our issues.

Dean accused the Republicans of focusing of God Guns and Gays.

Well they are most definitly anit-gun, anti-god, and super duper pro homosexual.

There is a reason kerry is hiding.


Perhaps we need a looney watch for the DNC convention. All the nutcases will be on the non-prime time times.

Kucinich would be great for the tinfoil crowd.

Recent headline from Illinois:

Governor refuses to sign right of self defense bill, instead presses for more gun control.

Pretty much sums up what 99.99 percent of Democrats, and far too many Republicans, would like to do.

But-but-but I just saw John Kerry the other day with a photo-op gun in his hand. Maybe the thought there were some Viet Namese civilians around he could get a shot at.

That's exactly right. It was ONLY a photo-op. I think he'd sell his soul to the devil to win. IF he hasn't already!
