[Blood of Tyrants]

My Rat representative (Jim Cooper, 5th-TN) was re-elected in 2002 to the office he lost when he ran aginst Fred Thompson in '94. His 2A support has been sketchy from my research at conservative.org, voting for some anti-gun mesaures in the late 80's but against the AW ban in '94.

His ACU ratinsg for the years he was in office ('83-'94) were:

1983 - 43
1984 - 26
1985 - 24
1986 - 14
1987 - 9
1988 - 28
1989 - 21
1990 - 29
1991 - 40
1992 - 32
1993 - 38
1994 - 67

For a Rat, this is truly moderate.

Yesterday I called his office and requested a direct statement on his support or opposition of the AW ban renewal. We'll see if his years in private life made him more or less conservative.
