Hypocrisy: ''Kerry Co-Sponsored Bill Banning Gun He Waves''

12:40pm Tuesday, September 07, 2004
September 7, 2004 Drudge Report Was Dem presidential hopeful John Kerry seen this weekend waving a gun which would have been banned if legislation he co-sponsored became law?

September 4, 2004 Cincinnati Enquirer Editorial: We all are terror's soft targets The unspeakable terrorist takeover of a Russian school that left hundreds dead and wounded this week drives home the point that in the war of terror, there is no such place as a non-combat area.

10:44am Wednesday, September 01, 2004
August 29, 2004 The Daily Camera by Jon Caldara align="right"> The so-called assault-weapons ban is about to sunset. About time. It was one of the goofiest gun laws on the books.

Before we start, you should know I used to be like you when it came to firearms...

August 30, 2004 Miami Herald By Benedict D. Larosa Gun-control laws, like all ill-advised measures, have unintended, often unfortunate, consequences.

Recently, Secretary of Homeland Security Tom Ridge upgraded the nation's alert status because of credible intelligence that several financial buildings in New York City, Newark, N.J., and...

Letter to the Editor: Shooting Blanks

11:26am Thursday, August 26, 2004
August 26, 2004 Akron Beacon Journal Your Aug. 9 editorial headlined "Victim of the gun lobby'' was full of opinions disguised as facts. The comment "no sport use'' is irrelevant.
