NRA Ads Focus on Kerry Gun Rights Record

In the NRA ad, union members and hunters accuse Kerry of misrepresenting his position on gun rights. "I look at him and I go, 'What a phony,'" Massachusetts voter Marc Folco says in the infomercial. "He's no sportsman, he's no hunter."

LaPierre said the shotgun Kerry displayed during his recent West Virginia appearance would be banned under a bill Kerry co-sponsored.

The NRA plans to make decisions on where the anti-Kerry infomercial will run next on a weekly basis, LaPierre said.

The ad is financed with limited individual contributions to the NRA's political action committee, the only way the group can legally air it until Election Day under a campaign finance law that bans the use of corporate or union money on ads targeting presidential or congressional candidates close to elections.

Along with the Swifties, the NRA-ILA is a worthy cause and could use your assistance!

LaPierre said on Hardboiled that it was a Remington 11-87 which was something a lot of us had been wondering about.
