Excellent news.

The NRA compiled a list of Senator Lugar's shameful anti-Second Amendment record at http://www.nrapvf.org/elect-mourdock.aspx:

Here are some of the highlights of Senator Lugar’s anti-gun record:
  • He voted to confirm both Elena Kagan, and Sonya Sotomayor to the Supreme Court, one of only four Republican Senators to vote for both. (Vote 262, 8/6/2009, and Vote 229, 8/5/2010) 
  • He voted to reinstate the ban on commonly owned semi-automatic rifles. (Vote 24, 03/02/2004). He voted for the original semi-automatic firearm ban. (Vote 375, 11/17/1993) 
  • He voted for passage of the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) in 2004 only after the semi-auto ban and gun show regulations had been added to the bill, making it unacceptable. (Vote 30, 3/2/2004). In 2005, he also voted for PLCAA, but he also supported a gutting amendment that failed. (Vote 208, 7/28/2005)
  •  He voted for the Brady bill. (Vote 394, 11/20/1993) 
  • He voted for campaign finance reform. (Vote 64, 4/2/2001)
  • He voted for legislation to regulate gun shows out of existence. (Vote 111, 5/20/1999, Vote 134, 5/20/1999 and Vote 25, 3/2/2004)
  • He voted to ban the importation of standard capacity magazines. (Vote 240, 7/28/1998, Vote 116, 5/13/1999) 
  • He voted to mandate that a trigger lock be included with every handgun. (Vote 17, 2/26/2004) 
  • He voted against interstate right to carry reciprocity. (Vote 237, 7/22/2009) 
  • He voted against a bill to restore the Second Amendment rights to DC residents. (Vote 160, 2/26/2009) 
  • He voted to commend the "Million Mom March", which has called for gun registration, gun show restrictions, and the semi-auto ban. (Vote 104, 5/17/2000) 
  • He voted to ban using the Internet to list a firearms for sale for anyone other than licensed dealers. (Vote 119, 5/14/1999 He voted to ban hunting in the Mojave National Monument. (Vote 87, 4/12/1994)  

[I also note that whoever is updating Free Republic's software has added code removing attributes from the <table> tag. That means that I cannot use the "bg" attribute to specify a background color to highlight quotes.]

[Sorry, it's not "bg", it's "bgcolor" --- the excellent Free Republic software was simply saving me from my own HTML blunders. Let's try that post again...]
