McCain is Anti-Gun

 Earl Kirby, January 10,2008

     During the 2000 race for the nomination McCain took a position far to the left of George W, Bush.  McCain began speaking out against small, inexpensive handguns and he entertained the idea of supporting the 'assault weapons' ban.  McCain continued to pursue his anti-gun agenda even after his presidential run ended, and the next year he  made it to the big screen.  As moviegoers flocked to see Pearl Harbor, they were treated to an anti-gun trailer ad featuring McCain. This time the Senator was pushing legislation to force people to keep firearms locked up in the home.  "We owe it to our children to be responsible by keeping our guns locked up," McCain told viewers.
   
     Also in 2001, McCain went from being a supporter of anti-gun bills to being a lead sponsor.  Pro-gun allies in Congress who were holding off gun show legislation -- which would at best register gun owners and at worst close down the shows entirely -- were angered when McCain teamed up with Sen. Joe Lieberman (D-CT) and introduced a "compromise" bill to give the issue momentum.
    
     Many are concerned with McCain’s record concerning illegal immigration and the Fienstien-McCain bill.  In 2000 John McCain tried running for president as an anti-gunner.  For those of us who care about our rights to bear arms we need to not forget what his position has been in the past.
