Principle-Powered Howard gets to Bush's right on guns. What a protector of the 2nd Amendment.

>>>>>Senator John Kerry offered, "When I go out there and hunt, I'm going out there with a 12-gauge shotgun, not an assault weapon."

John 'Wayne' Kerry, Great White Hunter of the Wild Frontier, has probably hunted no further for red meat than Outback Steakhouse.

What an utter load of pandering crap!!!!!!!!!!!

It's been pretty obvious for quite awhile that our government is scared to death of an armed populace that has the capability to restore the liberties they have played so fast and loose with. All this talk of hunting and such is crap. I want my right to hold a gun to assure that our high and mighty have real a reason to do the right thing by the electorate and don't get too high and mighty. The people quoted in this article are just the sort who need to have that uppermost in their minds when they legislate on our behalf.

It funny to think that the first court decision about guns control was a gangster that could not prove that his shotgun was for military purposes. Because of that he lost the case. Now you can't have a gun for military purposes, as per the second amendment. How in the world did that happen?

Dear Sen Kerry. If the terrorist decides to attack soft targets such as a sleeping suburban street in the middle of the night with automatic gunfire (see the movie Invasion USA starring Chuck Norris), you can confront them with a 12 GA shotgun or 3 shot bolt action rifle. I will grab my "assault rifle", and at the end of the shoot out, let's see who would be found dead on his lawn with an empty weapon in one hand and live rounds clutched in the other hand in desperate attempt to reload. You didn't learn anything in Vietnam, sir.

With their hostility to gun owners, good luck to the Democrats on winning the South.

"When I go out there and hunt, I'm going out there with a 12-gauge shotgun, not an assault weapon."

When you have a Mossberg 590, your 12 guage shotgun IS an assault rifle... heh eheh heh heheheh (evil laugh)

Amendment II: A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.

does anyone see the word "hunt" in there???

[JoJo Gunn]

Who makes you feel safer, the Right or the Left?

[caltrop]

Did you forget to mention that President Bush also supports extending the ban?

[LTCJ]

Governor Howard Dean supports extending the assault-weapons ban next year "because I never met a hunter who needed an AK-47 to shoot a deer."

Mr. Dean, let me make this a clear as I can: The Second Amendment to the Constitution is not about sporting, and the targets implicit in its guarantee consist neither of paper nor venison.

[Mr. Mojo]

Senator John Kerry offered, "When I go out there and hunt, I'm going out there with a 12-gauge shotgun, not an assault weapon."

FrankenKerry believes that hunting is the only legitimate use for guns.

[drypowder]

Ya think these dumacrats really believe the 2nd Amendment is meant only to allow us to hunt? Anyone who speaks of the 2nd in those terms is either a lier or very poorly educated in US history. This country doesn't want nor need another president who is a lier and/or doesn't know American history.

[Hat-Trick]

Clearly what worries these senators is that people and not deer will be "hunted" with these guns.

Let me show you what I believe truly "worries these senators", and why they are so persistent in attempting to deny law-abiding citizens the God-given right to keep and bear arms as guaranteed in the 2nd Amendment:

which are surely not very useful in hunting deer

It's certainly possible to kill a deer with a select fire, .223 rifle.

New York Congresswoman Carolyn McCarthy claims: "You want an assault weapon? Go join the Army."

Didn't Heinrich Himmler say something similar to this? I believe it was something along the lines of, "If you want to own a gun, join the Waffen SS."

"Governor Howard Dean supports extending the assault-weapons ban next year "because I never met a hunter who needed an AK-47 to shoot a deer."

Marxist Dr. Dean - doesn't realize that the 2nd Amendment was not written to ensure that Americans had weapons to hunt Bambi, Daffy Duck or Woody Woodpecker...

It was written to ensure that citizens had the weapons necessary to deter or repulse enemies of the State -- Foreign or Domestic....
