In 1993 he voted for the bill that gave us that ban.
He admits that he did. Why do you insist that he did not?
In 2003, he told a packed house that he would vote for the bill again if it came up as part of 'an important package' of bills, like an anti terrorist bill just moments after he told us that his earlier vote was a mistake and that the ban was ineffective and violated our rights.
There is nothing mistaken about that.
Do you know anything at all about Specter other than what the NRA tells you? He is always with us when we DON'T need him. His world view is not that of 90% of the people on this board or that of the NRA. He is a big government, tax and spend, pro abortion, self confessed gun grabbing, self serving liberal. What would the NRA or you support him? He may have some votes with us -- when he didn't need him -- but his overall score on pro gun issues with us is only 55%.
Is that what you consider a friend?
I was not able to make it this morning to the meeting so I do not have the information that I was looking for. I will post it when I get it.
So far in this discussion, you haven't linked to anything that supports any liberal views. You claimed he would vote for the renewal of the AWB and by the facts, he did not. You still haven't found any NRA rating for him. For all I know, he's rated a C minus over an F rated democrat. If the choices are between a RINO or losing control over a Republican Senate, it should be a no brainer.
