FairOpinion said: "While Arnold unfortunately supports some of the gun control measures, he does believe that people should have the right to bear arms and the basic philosophy that if you take guns away from people, only the criminals will have guns. "

This would be more comforting if it wasn't the stand of virtually every anti-gun politician and group, most of whom claim to be interested in safety, limiting crime, and, of course, protecting the "childrun".

Is there any gun control in any place in the United States with which Arnold disagrees?

Is he in favor of ALL of the different "assault weapons" laws in various states and at the federal level?

Is he in favor of the handgun ban in Washington, D.C.?

Is he in favor of the de facto ban on concealed carry in Kalifornia due to the "discretionary" permitting system?

Is he in favor of requiring gun owners like me, who trained in the military, having to obtain a Gun Safety Certificate, at our own expense, every five years, after we have already obtained a Basic Handgun Safety Certificate, at our own expense, which was supposed to be good for life?

Is he in favor, as I believe he has stated, of closing the "gun show loophole" by requiring that every firearm transfer in Kalifornia be performed by a licensed Federal Firearms Licensee? This one is especially curious because there is no "gun show loophole" in Kalifornia because every firearm transfer must be performed by a licensed Federal Firearms Licensee.

The truth of the matter is that Arnold is ignorant of gun laws and uses the phrases that will convince ignorant people to support him OR he has chosen to take a political position regardless of facts to get elected.

In this case, the choice is YOURS.
