Lonoke (AP) - Governor Huckabee and Republican sportsmen took aim at the Democratic presidential ticket Wednesday. Huckabee says hunters should be up in arms over what the governor says is the threat that a John Kerry (website/newsbio) presidency would pose to gun rights.
Speaking at a gun club shooting range run by the Remington Arms company, Huckabee criticized Kerry's comments that the Second Amendment right to bear arms should stop with state militia and should not extend to individuals. The governor also cautioned Southerners not to be fooled by North Carolina Senator John Edwards as Kerry's running mate. The governor says Edwards will try to portray himself as a fellow Southerner when he does not hunt, fish, like NASCAR racing or country music.
The governor also had some gag gifts for the presumptive Democratic nominees for when they come to Arkansas, including a NASCAR cap in camouflage, a toy shotgun, a Lynard Skynard CD, a membership application to the National Rifle Association and a beginner's rod and reel. The governor was joking with these items, but said he would take Edwards fishing if the likely Vice Presidential nominee said he would accept the invitation.

You're damn right, he's a good guy and speaks of a serious matter. Back in 1966, at the University of Texas, Charles Whitman shot and killed innocent victims in cold blood.
I was at church camp at Mo Ranch, a Presbeterian Church Camp in the Hill Country and distinctly remember a guy everyone called "Huck", with the first name of Mike. I vaguely remember that he was from out of state. I'm sure Mike Huckabee, govenor of Arkansas, is the same guy I went to church camp with. If I have to prove it to anyone who knows "Huck", I can name the girl he had a huge crush on, as she turned out to be one of my college suite mates years later!

Gov. Huckabee and his band played at the Inaugural Freeper Ball, hopefully he'll be playing at the Jan. '05 ball!
