And there my friends is his position. The part about shotguns is a red herring. I don't believe anyone is even trying to regulate shotguns. I want to hear Joe say that about handguns and semis. But he never will, cuz that's what they are after.
Some shotguns such as the Street Sweeper and others have already been effectively legislated away.
As someone who no longer has one of his shotguns as a result of the Clinton era executive orders, I assert that you are giving them too much credit even on that point. They will attempt to ban all semi-automatics, and that includes a lot shotguns that were designed over 100 years ago (browning A-5, Remington model 12, etc. The most common "non-elite" hunting firearms, such as Remington 11/87s and Saiga-12s, will be among the first to be outlawed.
McCain is a poor candidate when it comes to firearms rights, but Obama is simply unacceptable. He is a tyrant, and his election will spell doom for freedom.
