No, that one is true. Kerry claims to be a hunter and pro gun rights,
but his voting record is decidedly anti-gun.

Again, you are oversimplifying the issue, labeling as "anti-gun" anyone who
doesn't approve of carte-blanche access to guns. "False" was correct.

No, Kerry's voting record is 100% anti-gun. As some highlights,

-- He voted this year for a ban on centerfire rifle ammunition. That would
immediately make most deer hunting weapons useless.
-- He voted for the Schumer ammendment to spend millions for gun buyback programs.
-- He's a co-sponsor of legislation to ban semi-automatic rifles and shotguns.
Ironically, his bill would make the shotgun he received as a gift in West Virginia
illegal.
-- He's voted several times to ban legitimate sales of firearms by private owners.
-- He's voted for Federal firearms registration.
-- He voted for a measure that would make a firearms owner responsible if his
weapon is stolen and used in a crime.
-- He voted to kill the Civilian Marksmanship Program.


And this is just a small number of the anti-gun bills he's voted for.

He's voted the same way as Ted Kennedy on gun issues and the same way as Chuck
Schumer nearly 100% of the time. That is *not* a moderate stance on gun ownership.

I head one description of him being more Ted Kennedy than Ted Kennedy.
