Reason No. 2

not to vote for John McCain.

Fun quotes from the John McCain 2008 website. Today's topic "Gun Control"!

John McCain opposes backdoor attempts to restrict Second Amendment rights by holding gun manufacturers liable for crimes committed by third parties using a firearm, and has voted to protect gun manufacturers from such inappropriate liability aimed at bankrupting the entire gun industry.

Its a good point. Why should someone be liable when their product kills people? If an individual kills someone, they're liable, but why should companies have to follow the same rules? Sure, everyday 80 people in the United States die from gun violence and Americans are 16 times more likely to be killed by a gun than in 25 other industrialized countries COMBINED, but people gots to make money! Thanks McCain!

John McCain opposes restrictions on so-called "assault rifles" and voted consistently against such bans. Most recently he opposed an amendment to extend a ban on 19 specific firearms, and others with similar characteristics.

Sorry John, but no one needs an assault rifle. Apparently, this is a bold position, but you don't need an Uzi or a Kalashnikov. And yes that is what the Brady Bill banned. By the way, an Uzi sub machine gun can fire 600 rounds per minute and there are Uzis that can fire up to 1700 rounds per minute. No one needs that.

John McCain believes that banning ammunition is just another way to undermine Second Amendment rights. He voted against an amendment that would have banned many of the most commonly used hunting cartridges on the spurious grounds that they were "armor-piercing."

Apparently John McCain needs to protect himself from deer. Never having been to Arizona, we'll have to assume that the deer wear bullet proof vests and/or drive tanks.

As part of John McCain's defense of Second Amendment rights, he cosponsored legislation to lift a ban on the law abiding citizens of the District of Columbia from exercising their Constitutional right to bear arms.

There were 40 gun related deaths in Washington DC in 2004. Those 40 gun related deaths were all children under the age of 19.

John McCain has opposed "waiting periods" for law abiding citizen's purchase of firearms.

Sometimes you've got to shoot someone, er hunt, NOW.

Finally, to switch things up, McCain says something that makes sense.

John McCain believes that every firearms owner has a responsibility to learn how to safely use and store the firearm they have chosen, whether for target shooting, hunting, or personal protection. He has supported legislation requiring gun manufacturers to include gun safety devices such as trigger locks in product packaging.

One can only imagine that Cheney thinks gun locks violates Free Market principles.
