Someone at the PVF needs to read more than the questionaire they send the candidates. Voting records might be a good start.
Voting records? Someone should check out the NRA-PVF site. Earl Pomeroy’s voting record:
Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act — Cosponsored and voted for the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act that prevents attempts to bankrupt the American gun industry through bogus lawsuits
District of Columbia Personal Protection Act — Cosponsored and voted for the Second Amendment Enforcement Act and District of Columbia Personal Protection Act that would repeal the D.C. gun ban/registration statute and restore the right of self-defense to law-abiding residents of our nation’s capital
Heller Case — Signed the pro-gun congressional “friend of the court” brief in the 2008 Heller case supporting the Second Amendment as an individual right and striking down the gun ban in our nation’s capital

Pomeroy must have redeemed himself since 1994. They know how to keep voting records. IMHO, questionaires are for newbies with blank slates. Gillibrand went from an 'A' rating in the House to an 'F' in the Senate in less than 2 years.
