KERRY COSPONSORED BILL BANNING GUN HE WAVES

Was Dem presidential hopeful John Kerry seen this weekend waving a gun which would have been banned if legislation he co-sponsored became law?

Kerry co-sponsored S. 1431 last year (“The Assault Weapons Ban and Law Enforcement Protection Act of 2003) which would have banned a "semiautomatic shotgun that has a pistol grip.”

Opponents of the bill successfully argued how nearly all guns have "pistol grips," inluding millions of Browning Auto-5 shotguns produced since 1903.

Photos show Kerry's hand resting on the "pistol grip," as loosely defined in the bill. [Section SEC. 2; (H) (ii) and (b)(42): "The term 'pistol grip' means a grip, a thumbhole stock, or any other characteristic that can function as a grip."]

Kerry was presented with the semiautomatic shotgun during a Labor Day stop in Racine, West Virginia.

"I thank you for the gift, but I can't take it to the debate with me," Kerry told a cheering crowd as he held up the device.

But Kerry's gun bill would have also banned any "gift" transaction!

[It is not clear if Kerry completed the required paperwork (Form 4473) before he claimed the gun.]

I dont like the slimy prick but that is spin.

The sinking ship they call a Kerry campaign should really choose their photo ops a little more carefully. That's hilarious... Hilarious!

"I thank you for the gift, but I can't take it to the debate with me," Kerry told a cheering crowd as he held up the device.

I guarandamntee you that if Bush or Cheney ever held up a rifle and joked that they couldn't use it at the debates, the left and the media would have a friggin' cow over it. But everyone knows Kerry is lucky to figure out which end of a gun he should stand behind and only pretends to be a hunter because that's what he thinks he has to do to bond with the ignorant hayseeds in flyover country when he really wants to pass laws taking all of their guns away. Oh, what horrible sacrifices the elitist Kerry has to make just to get these rubes to vote for him! The ignominity of it all!

So he's able to get away with veiled threats of wanting to shoot the President. The media will give him a pass which is what they will continue to do for next two months, since electing their man is more important to the media than any pretense of honesty or accuracy.

"Hunter of fascists xa!xa!xa!"

What is so damn funny is he is looking for the safety.

It's an auto Remington and the click is off or on. It will have a red band if it's off.

That is so damn funny. He's totally confused with a simple hunting shotgun.

[watermock]

The safety is right in front of the bar about the trigger in the front. It's a slide button.

Hey War Hero, go ask before you hurt someone.

This is our war hero and the guy doen't even know where the safety is like Michaels Corleone's Wife before a car bomb.

Look Dimwit. it's placed in that model in front of the trigger. It's an auto Remington. Make sure you wait till it recoils the spent shell, make sure you understand it loads an fresh round. It will leave the safety off and have a load in the chamber.

Jesus Christ.

This is my War President?

I'm still laughing about his Rolling Stone interview. Dropping F-bombs so he could pander to the hip crowd. "I'm John F--king Kerry, and I needjo muthaf--kin' vote! Ya Herd?"

Now he's waiving a gun, and saying aloud that he'd like to shoot the president. Imagine the complete hysteria if Dubya was holding aloft a shotgun and saying he would like to take it to the debate. This is priceless.

"I'm John F--king Kerry. Take me to your leader... set phasers to pander"

[Rohirrim]

It's only a pistol grip if you saw the rest of the butt off.

Based on what?
Now he's waiving a gun, and saying aloud that he'd like to shoot the president.
He said that?
It's only a pistol grip if you saw the rest of the butt off.
Seriously. This thread is ridiculous.

Overreact much, guys?

You know a man by his record.

[Dr. Broncenstein]

The thing is -- I'm not all fired up about him holding a gun. I'm not calling for heads to roll... instead, I'm laughing at the panderman's complete lack of dignity.

Chicago Anti Gun Enforcement (CAGE) unit. This elite squad, operated jointly by the Illinois State Police, the Chicago Police Department, and the Cook County State's Attorney's Office, supposedly exists to identify illegal gunrunners. However, information gained by the ISRA makes it clear that the CAGE unit is targeting law-abiding citizens, not criminal gunrunners.

Well, downhere in redneck monkeyland, we have licenses to carry concealed firearms.... I have a license and a colt 45 in my diesel 4x4... I love Oklahoma.
