"Trent Lott. Antigun who wrote most the antigun laws in the senate for the past 6-7 years......Orrin Hatch......Larry Craig help draft antigun law with Trent Lott........Gordon Smith, wrote laws with James Jeffords both Republican senators to restrict sales of firearms.......Oh and we shouldn't forget the President and Vice President either with their obsession of banning firearms without a clear hunting purpose..."
This exercise will be interesting, and maybe educational.
Will you please show me some of the most extreme "antigun laws" Lott authored.
Meanwhile, here are some examples of his support on 2A issues:
--- Lott opposed, a 1999 amendment by Dianne Feinstein to ban the import of magazines manufactured before 1994 which hold more than 10 rounds
--Against a Charles Schumer amendment to prevent gun makers victimized by abusive lawsuits from declaring bankruptcy.
--Against extreme restrictions on gun shows which would allow federal regulators to ban them entirely.
--Against an amendment by Charles Schumer to restrict firearms sales over the Internet
--Against a Lautenberg proposal to impose special restrictions on gun shows.
Many, many more examples on request.
Orrin Hatch on 2A issues:
--"The assault weapons ban is a measure entirely devoid of rational thought....This amendment addresses neither the problem nor the solution, when it comes to gun crime.....I strongly oppose the Amendment."
--introduced S. 1414 to repeal the DC's ban on handguns and lift prohibitions on the possession or carrying of weapons at homes and workplaces
Larry Craig is on the board of the NRA. Anti-gun? I don't think so.
Jim Jeffords on 2A issues:
--Voted NO on background checks at gun shows. (May 1999)
--Voted YES on more penalties for gun & drug violations. (May 1999)
--Voted YES on loosening license & background checks at gun shows. (May 1999)
--Voted YES on maintaining current law: guns sold without trigger locks. (Jul 1998)
Gordon Smith...............maybe, however he is rated B by the NRA, indicating a pro-gun rights voting record.
Here is my first list of anti-2A Democrats; feel free to provide examples of their support FOR gun rights as I have done with your list:
Nancy Peolsi, Dianne Feinstein, Charles Schumer, Patty Murray, Frank Lautenberg
