Letter from Clinton comes back to haunt Kasich (1994 Assault Weapons Ban)
WND ^ | 3/14/16 | LEO HOHMANN

Shows willingness to compromise on gun rights.

It could be the most damaging “Dear John” letter of the 2016 presidential primary race.

A letter from former President Bill Clinton disclosed just days before the Ohio primary is causing Ohio Gov. John Kasich problems on the campaign trail.

Kasich tells GOP voters he can “get things done” by working with Democrats but also stresses he is a “defender of the 2nd Amendment.”

The letter from Clinton shows Kasich made a deal to restrict the Second Amendment rights of American “on one of the most critical votes on guns ever,” according to a report by Top Right News.

The issue at stake was the Assault Weapons Ban of 1994.

“This is a letter Kasich does not want voters to see…and it could cost him dearly on Tuesday,” Top Right News reports.

In the May 5, 1994 letter, then-president Clinton applauded Kasich’s “courageous” vote on the bill written by Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., to keep the falsely named “assault weapons” out of the hands of law-abiding citizens, the conservative news site reports.

The guy’s not really trying to hide his Leftism at this point, so it’s possible he’ll start praising his idiotic past decision.

“so it’s possible he’ll start praising his idiotic past decision.”

He did that this morning on Fox. Including amnesty and the trade deals.

Whatever you might appreciate about Kasich, voting for that bill is completely unacceptable.

K-Sick and K-Street should get along well.

K-Sick wants your guns.

K-Sick wants your children to be dumbed down.

K-Sick want illegals, legalized.

K-Sick wants to spend your money fighting climate change.

K-sick is sick with the RINO disease, boot him to the curb.

And here I thought that he only reserved those letters to women who (temporarily) wear blue dresses and do unusual things with cigars...you truly do learn new things every day.

See my tagline to get a hint as to my view of Kasich.

Trump also supported the “assault weapons ban”.

Trump was supporting assault weapon bans way past 1994, yet Trump supporters keep whistling Dixie.

Wouldn’t surprise me to see him and the Rube come out wearing Che tee’s tomorrow, sadly Cruz could join in this leftist love fest the rest of the GOP seems to be on with the communist left lately.

He may run as Hillary’s veep. We thought Bush would do it. But I see the gop supporting a Clinton/Kasich ticket.

It is essential we keep Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, and John Kasich away from the White House.
It is crucial either Donald Trump or Ted Cruz becomes the next POTUS at this point.
Nevermind the next few years...you know Clinton or Sanders would seek to repeal the Second Amendment via packing the SCOTUS with leftists.
