In total, GOA tracked 33 votes in the U.S. Senate while (Fred) Thompson was there. He voted pro-gun 19 times. Those votes are detailed below:

Voting in favor of gun owners only half of the time is not “Generally CONSERVATIVE” in my view.
I know. Another area that in which GWB, not to mention Hunter runs circles around him
I was afraid, particularly when I first started liking Fred, that things would come out that tarnish his so-called conservative record.
McLame-FineSwine, as others have put it, could have been a lapse or misjudgment. But as the days go by, more comes out that truly sheds a not-so-nice light on Fred.
So - just over 50% in favor of gun owners (according to GOA, which I trust), and other bits emerging from Thompson’s record, just don’t think Fred should be our first choice. We have to quit letting the media pick our candidates.
