EDWARDS COMPLETES ANTI-GUN DREAM TICKET

On July 6, the apparent Democratic Presidential nominee, Senator John Kerry (D-Mass.) chose former rival Senator John Edwards (D-N.C.) as his vice-presidential running mate.

Edwards has much in common with Kerry when it comes to gun issues. Both "Johns" ask us to believe the absurd and specious assertion that they are longtime hunters who support the Second Amendment, when the actions of both have unequivocally proven the opposite. Both have amassed abysmal voting records on firearm rights, with Kerry earning the notorious distinction of being among the most solidly "F-rated" candidates ever rated by NRA's Political Victory Fund (PVF). And last spring, both took time off from the campaign trail to return to Washington and vote for amendments to extend the "assault weapons" ban, and to effectively end gun shows--issues they viewed as compelling enough to warrant a return to Washington, D.C., after long absences, and which show gun owners where they truly stand.

Though they're sure to continue their deception by saying whatever they deem politically expedient, Kerry and Edwards can't have it both ways. Their records clearly speak for themselves.

The "Johns" are not pro-hunting and they are not pro-Second Amendment. And they can count on having one more thing in common during this year's campaign--NRA-ILA revealing, and holding them accountable for, their true positions on our issues.

Not really much to add, except for this. Why do people think banning or outlawing firearms NOW is gonna do any good anyway? The weapons are already out there, and it's not like stopping the sale of them now will do anything except make illegal gun trafficers even more wealthy.

JESUS! doesn't anyone remember prohibition?

There is a lesson to be learned from the myth of Pandoras Box. Once opened, it can never be closed.
