Hmm....the 7400 series has over the years had many quality control & reliability problems. They don’t sell for all that much on gunbroker.com.
Was the earlier Model 740 better, as in `if it ain’t broke don’t fix it’? Or was the larger problem one of making a single receiver for both pump & semi-auto?
Bet they were sold an opportunity to meet the governor but not have to sit through a long winded speech.
This jerk’s judgement is worse than Cruz’s. He should change parties and move to San Francisco.
Thanks for posting.
My son says good thing about him sometimes. (He doesn’t follow this stuff very closely)
This should cure any lingering kasickness he may have.
>>How John Kasich Flipped a Mixed Gun Voting Record into an ‘A’ Grade from the NRA
While this is true, it doesn’t tell the whole story of the 1993 Assault Weapons bill (Clinton Crime bill).
As I posted recently and also sent a letter to the Toledo Blade last week, the bill was dead in the water with Democrats bailing. A preliminary vote had failed and John Kasich mainly, with Mike Castle and Debra Pryce got 42 Republicans to also flip, in Kasich’s effort to be ‘bipartisan’ as well as his reaching across the aisle.
Without Kasich and Castle there would have been no assault weapons bill precedent, for other gun grabbing legislation - federal and state, to add to.
So while the bill itself was a problem at the time, the bigger problem with Kasich - as we have heard in many of his recent debate performances - is his affinity for the idea of “bipartisanship” and reaching out to others - ie Democrats - to get compromises in legislation.
Yet there was no ‘give and take’ on the assault weapons ban - every Clinton and Democrat issue was passed without anything in return - iow, just like the ‘reaching across the aisle’ by McCain, Graham, McConnell, Boehner and others have done for decades now - only benefiting the Dems with nothing to show on the Republican side.
“In any compromise between food and poison, it is only death that can win. In any compromise between good and evil, it is only evil that can profit. In that transfusion of blood which drains the good to feed the evil, the compromiser is the transmitting rubber tube . . .” Ayn Rand
In the Assault Weapons ban, Kasich was the “tube” and while he may now say that he was wrong, his ‘process/operating basis’ is still part of his tool box. So while it may have been guns then, who knows what it may be the next time he decides to ‘reach across the aisle’ and compromise - Supreme Court Justices? Obamacare? Giving “undocumented Democrats” citizenship?
Read about the crime bill ‘compromise’ here:
With the Second Amendment, Immigration, Obamacare, and big government in general, why vote for Kasich when we can just vote for Hillary and get the same thing?
He was asked about that in one of the debates in the last week or two. He’s been saying that he wouldn’t support any type of gun ban as a general matter, but like you, I was interested to hear his position specifically on the AWB. His answer was a pretty clear ‘no’ on the issue, that he doesn’t support it anymore. For my part, I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt until he proves otherwise. He wasn’t a politician and could easily have been previously misinformed by the media and changed his mind after learning more.
As for Kasich, I wasn’t aware that he was a longtime and current AWB supporter. Screw that guy. If he’s the nominee, he can count me out.
