Good point. But have you noticed that John F'n Kerry has been silent on gun rights this year? Gun control hurt the Democrats in the 2000 election, and contributed to the Republican takeover in 1994. The lamestream media has pushed gun control for years, but it hasn't worked. Doesn't Kerry strike you as too risk-averse to try to push for gun control?

Kerry knows that if he makes it an issue, his candidacy is DOA because of his anti-gun voting record, an "F" grade by the NRA.

I love this ad.

If you notice, Kerry and especially his talking heads are careful to say things like how they respect hunting and sportsmen, and would never take their guns away from them.

BUT, they almost never speak of support for the rights of Americans to own guns (especially handguns) for self defense. That strikes me as a bit telling.

I dont' hunt, and while I support to right of others to do so, I am interested in the Second Amendment for the purpose of self-defense. And handguns are the best for that.

It will be his "gift" to the American people, the repeal of the Second Ammendment; or at lest the re-interpretation of "The right to keep and bear arms" as "The right of the police and military to keep and bear arms".

Only in an election year. In between elections, the gun controllers start back up again and expect people to forget what they've done by next election. That's how they have disarmed California.
