Shotgun John

With deer and waterfowl hunting seasons opening up around the nation, the Kerry/Edwards campaign is dangling some bait to hook the Cabelas vote.

Whispers learns it will announce a 'Sportsman's Bill of Rights' as early as this week.

Topping the six point plan is the 'right to own firearms.'

A draft reads, 'Gun rights are fundemental for the sport of hunting.'

Kerry will also propose paying landowners to give access to the hook and bullet crowd.

Funny, I thought those rights were already guaranteed by the Constitution!

The Second Amendment has NOTHING TO DO WITH HUNTING!

That's merely window dressing.
What Kerry/Edwards really mean with their redundant bill: "You won't have any guns for real since animals have more rights than peopel, but you will have a straw and some spitwads with which to tag the animals to give that FEELING of having hunted."

I would assume you already have the right to 'charge' those who wish to hunt 'your property'.

So, now I need a moronic, goofy, horse-faced elitist and a stinking trial lawyer to "give" me this right?

Hey, fools, I got a copy of the 2nd Amendment.

Your names ain't on it, nowhere!

You were born with those rights. The Constitution merely "puts it in writing". IMHO the 2A should have been the first, seeing that it's the hinge on which freedoms' door swings. If Cabelas names Kerry "Sportsman of the Year" they'll get no more $$$ out of me.

Sounds like someone and his friends want to do away with the second amendment to me. I think I will pass on this one John. None of the hunter states or the second amendment crowd are buying any of the crap that is coming out of you two johns.

Oh goodie.

I need to get a copy of this so-called "Sportsmans Bill of Rights" so I can use it for TP and mail it to their campaign HQ.

Probably will resemble Miranda more than the 2nd Amendment.

"gun rights are fundimental to hunting."---duh! These people are idiots. Wait 'til they get through banning everything but hunting "guns" only to find out a druggie or criminal can kill them just as dead with a deer rifle, or shotgun.

And you can let them hunt for free. Kerry just wants to force you to let anyone hunt on your land. For the money you get you will have the pleasure of picking up empty beer cans and spent shell casings. I am also sure that any bill he would sponsor would also open you up to all kinds of governmental regulations. Like anything Kerry proposes, he gives no details.

It's been my experience that nothing pi$$es off real hunters worse than pretenders. This should be fun to see!
Kerry's timorous base and the MSM (sorry, redundant) will have to wear earplugs, and not because of the shooting... and no one in the Old Media dare say Kerry misses the point: the Second Amendment was aimed at tyrants, not turkeys.

When our "hunting" guns are relegated to single shot 22 rifles locked up at the local hunting club Kerry and the left wingers will still not be happy.

As another poster mentioned......... the 2nd Amendment has nothing to do with hunting. The Dimowits have it all wrong once again. Why should we be surprised?
