McCain-Lautenberg?
Sen. McCain (R-Az) |
Readers of the FAX Alert are familiar with U.S. Sen. John McCain
(R-Ariz.) teaming up with anti-gunner Sen. Russ Feingold
(D-Wisc.) to promote so-called "campaign finance reform." This
week, McCain filmed an ad in support of Amendment 22 in Colorado
-- a Lautenberg-style gun show ban ballot initiative.
The
commercials are being financed with soft money from Americans for
Gun Safety -- a new national anti-gun group with chapters in 28
states, funded by billionaire Andrew J. McKelvey of Monster.com.
NRA's opposition to Amendment 22 is based in many of the same
reasons that we opposed the Lautenberg gun show language in the
Senate, but we agree with Senator McCain in opposing the larger
Gore agenda of licensing, testing, and photo-ID schemes.
Anti-gunners no doubt also winced at McCain's support of
Right-to-Carry, which he voiced on ABC's "Good Morning America"
on Thursday.
