6:55am Sunday, October 31, 2004

October 31, 2004 Toledo Blade John Kerry a hunter and strong supporter of the Second Amendment? His voting record in the Senate sure does not reflect that. He never voted with gun owners or for that matter any issues that benefited hunters. And when he and John Edwards leave the campaign trail to cast their votes for the semi-automatic weapons ban, that certainly says to me that they are not the...

October 25, 2004 Marion Star This letter is in response of "Setting the Record Straight" in Monday's edition, Oct. 11, and Sunday's edition, Oct. 17, 2004. Sen. John Kerry is not for the 2nd Amendment at all. He has voted for all gun bans that have come up on the floor. In fact, 51 times altogether. Check the record.
