I'm shocked that Feingold claims to believe in the correct 'Indivivual right' interpretation.

Me too. This line from Feingold, of all people, could easily come from any pro-2nd Amendment speaker:

I read the Second Amendment as providing an individual right to keep and bear arms as opposed to only a collective right. Individual Americans have a constitutional right to own and use guns. And there are a number of actions that legislatures should not take in my view to restrict gun ownership.

Is this just something he says to mollify hunters in Wisconsin?

I'd wager that it's kind of a nod to the Wisconsin Constitution's provision (Article I, section 25) regarding the right to keep and bear arms:

The people have the right to keep and bear arms for security, defense, hunting, recreation or any other lawful purpose.

Thus, unlike the U.S. Constitution's provision, Wisconsin's seems to definitely provide for an individual right with its mention of "security" and "hunting," and not just "defense."

We shouldn't be shocked that it was Feingold assigned to do the dirty, precarious questioning on the 2nd Amendment.

All these scumbags get together beforehand and divy-up the questions they think ought to be asked, and whether or not their constituents and major donors would have a problem with it.

Apparently, after learning the lessons of losing election after election where they pressed their anti-gun agenda, and LOST - they are being much more reserved in the raising of this issue.

Hence, the USUAL attack dogs on our 2nd Amendment rights, Schumer and Feinstein, are taking the easy route due to their constituents and major donors being more left-wing and anti-gun that Feingold's.

I don't know if this is fact, but I believe it is what these gun-grabbing scumbags are up to.

It also may be that Feingold ISN'T up for re-election next time around, and the others are, OR, Feingold IS up for re-election, and the people in his district are more pro-gun than he NORMALLY (when not up for re-election) is. Ala Hillary, he may be juking to the right in an effort to get re-elected. Just like Kerry, he's probably a lying-sack-of-sh*t when it comes to his views on the 2nd Amendment and firearms owned by law-abiding citizens.

Anti-gun, anti-freedom, anti-AMERICAN maggots.

Feingold can and will say anything. Doesn't mean he'd vote that way.

I've seen him look straight into the camera during a campaign debate and say exactly the opposite of what his actual vote in the Senate said. His whole *maverick* act is a charade, but he pulls it off, over and over again. Extremely frustrating because in reality, he's probably the most radical liberal in the Senate (although even his *big ideas* aren't as grand on the socialism scale as Hitlery's).

Howard Dean of all people supports gun rights. I haven't seen his position recently but back when he was running for the nomination he seemed to be fairly strong on 2nd A rights. Extrememly strong for a damned democrat.
