As an NRA member, I think it is perfectly reasonable to vet a candidate's second amendment positions...In the articles published today it APPEARS he has changed his poition somewhat (and in a way I consider dangerous and unconstitutional)...

We disagree on his "position change", based on a one liner from a Sun Times reporter.

BTW, Obama's record is just as well established, start with a ban on the sale and transfer of all semi-automatic weapons for starters, you get to keep them for now.

And he's not running for the Illinois legislature any more, rather a Senator, so those laws will apply to us all, not just Illinois. On this issue, there's no choice.

I agree about Obama, and I agree he is not even a choice I would EVER consider.

However, just because Keyes is running, doesn't mean that everything out of his mouth is gospel. If he doesn't clarify his remarks, he could lose out on a lot of donations, endorsements, etc... and cold also play havoc with the chances of other republicans on the ticket.

I don't want that to happen, and I don't think you do either...
