...Barr is one of the best friends RKBA has!

Perhaps. But, voting against new gun-control legislation is one thing. Repealing existing gun-control is another. Has Bob Barr made any concerted effort to repeal and federal gun-control legislation?

Incidentally, Bob Bar has voted for legislation unfriendly to gun owners:

H.R. 424, introduced by Rep. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), February 24, 1998.

Amendment added to H.R. 1501, introduced by Rep. Bill McCollum (R-FL), June 16, 1999.

Libertarians want to trash him over pharmaceuticals?

Bob Barr also votes for continued funding of the Depts. of Education, Health & Human Services, Labor, and Agriculture just to name a few.

I suspect one can find any number of votes a particular Congressman makes that go against the grain. Barr rates a Life time rating from ACU of 98. He gets a B from GOA and an A from NRA. He is on the Board of NRA. As for the votes you linked? Diane Gegette of CO (rabid anti) voted in favor of the bill, yet she is rabidly anti gun. Must be something within the bill itself that caused Barr to vote the way he did.

Over all, Barr is the man. We have no way to judge Libertarians. They never get elected to anything important...And for them to push the dope issue over RKBA? It will cost them dearly.
