Gun control is one area that Paul is good on and one that most of us don’t have a problem with, albeit, with that even he isn’t perfect.

Voted NO on prohibiting product misuse lawsuits on gun manufacturers. (Oct 2005)
Voted NO on prohibiting suing gunmakers & sellers for gun misuse. (Apr 2003)
Voted NO on decreasing gun waiting period from 3 days to 1. (Jun 1999)

Nor does his pretty good record on this overcome his leftist record on national security issues, his piss poor record on border security, his hundreds of millions in backdoor earmarks or his 19th century economic policy.

Paul does not like the Ammendments - I wonder how safe votes for women would be with Paul? Obviously he did not like the ban on slavery either.

Those are not pro-gun votes. Or is that what you meant?

The first two are unconstitutional, as are most tort reform bills. I agree that our judiciary is often out of control, but the legislative branch can’t dictate to them. A right way to fix it is to elect better people to the executive so that we get better nominees. As for the third, my guess is that Ron Paul is not going to compromise on a one day waiting period - he wants NO waiting period, and certainly not at the federal level.
