No, he's for gun control.
America is going to have to decide in 2008 if they want an ideologue a politican or a leader to run this country. You get to pick two of the three. That's how it works.
Gay marriage: "This is a state issue. But I will not tolerate judges who will overturn state decisions on this issue."
Abortion: "This is a state's rights issue. I intend to nominate judges who know their job is to interpret the laws not legislate from the bench."
Gun Control: "I've talked to a lot of gun owners as I've crossed the country the last few years and I've changed my mind."
Really, this stuff isn't hard. If people believe him to be a man of his word, then they'll vote for him.
From a political theater point of view, he should sometime in the next year or so get "invited" on a hunting trip, to a shooting match, or maybe both. He should be seen listening to the gun owners, not just "changing his mind". He should talk to them, and really listen, with humility and an open mind. It will make his turn-around more persuasive. 8.31.2006 2:53pm (link)Ken Hall (www):
