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 Lugars 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 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)

[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.]
Excellent news.
