Challenger targets Tancredo over gun control
By Mike Soraghan Denver Post Staff Writer
April 5 - Conservative Republican U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo, the congressman from Columbine, is supporting the statewide gun-control initiative to close the "gun-show loophole." "I support anything that is designed to keep guns out of the hands of people who shouldn't have them, and this fits," Tancredo said. "This is a reasonable gun-control provision." That's consistent with Tancredo's move toward the middle on guns since the Columbine High School massacre last April.

I didn't know his stance on gun control, that is a biggy for me. I hope I am wrong but it seems to me that Bush also gives with one hand on this issue, and takes with another. It's good that he stated that his administrations view is that the constitution insures private ownership. But recently he said that he and Ashcroft would "strictly" inforce the gun laws on the books, many of which are said to be unconstitutional and gun grabbing in and of themselves.

Stacking the pro and con columns up, Tancredo is still a better option to me, especially if his views on gun control can be turned.
