How do you ask a goose to be the last goose killed for a photo op?

The 2nd Amendment according to Skerry:

"In order to protect the right of the people to hunt fowl, the ownership of 20 guage single shot shotguns shall hardly ever be abridged."

Well to be fair, you'd have to admit it wouldn't be to replace his old worn out hunting gear. I'm sure he's for hunting, but the timing, come on. Kinda like the Seahawk fans I saw at the bar last weekend that were wearing jerseys with the tags still on them, and hats so new they looked starched. Some old die hard Raider fans in faded black jerseys just drank their beer and didn't say anything, but I bet they were rolling their eyes like I was. Same thing here.

I can't believe how much effort people put into discounting the obvious.

I believe law-abiding citizens ought to be able to own a gun. I believe in background checks. The best way to protect our citizens from guns is to prosecute those who commit crimes with guns.

Creamo, it was a planned photo op. I have no problem with that. All candidates do them. The fact that he does'nt carry his hunting clothes with him on the campaign trail does'nt bother me either. How much crap is he suppossed to lug around? "He bought a new jacket!" is pretty lame in the attack dept.

Uncanny how that guy says things just right:)

John Kerry has a 20-year record on voting against sportsmen's rights. He has voted against gun owners in every vote of his career as a Senator. He missed many votes in the last term (missing 32 of 67 important Senate votes), but made a special effort to break from the campaign trail in July, so he could be in Washington D.C. to cast his vote against sworn Peace Officers and the law that rightfully allows them to carry concealed weapons (HR 218).

Kerry has voted to close hundreds of thousands of acres to hunters, he has voted twice (1993 and 1996) to eliminate the Civilian Marksmanship Program, voted to ban sporting arms and ammunition as well as supporting higher taxes on firearms and ammunition. He supports the lawsuits against gun makers for the bad acts of criminals and supported or co-sponsored every piece of anti-gun legislation that has been declared unconstitutional in the past 20 years.

John Kerry has long been regarded as one of the most liberal Senators and has publicly stated “…there is no personal constitutional right, under the Second Amendment, to own or use a gun.” His stated goal is to tax and eventually outlaw the private ownership of firearms.

amazing how the quote in that article is actually by someone else... kinda makes you wonder about the source... doesn't it?

Under Clinton, the Office of the Solicitor General, the federal government's top lawyer, wrote in a letter to an NRA member, "there is no personal constitutional right, under the Second Amendment, to own or use a gun."

Wild goose chase ... good one, Jackal1. Kerry should help clean up the wild geese in the DC area. So many and so tame these pampered fowl need Pampering to reduce their foul slime.

Gee rpm, maybe his Boeing 757 "Freedom Bird's" cargo hold is stacked so full of detailed documents on how he is going to make all his promises come true, there is no room for a old camo jacket. Ok.

how is this any different than the photo op Bush did about 2-3 years ago where he goes into a warehouse and talks to the employees about what he's doing for American labor (no, no, not what he's really doing to American labor. what he wants the rubes to think he's doing for labor), meanwhile he had all those boxes stacked up behind him with the duct tape stripe on every box. funny thing was that the tape was on the same spot on every box except that one that said 'made in China' in that spot.

it doesn't seem to matter what the guy does you've already made your minds up. hell, he can't even go hunting without some seeing it as staged. guess what, it's hunting season in most of the country. if he actually is a hunter, now would be a logical time to do it. for most areas and most game fall is the season for hunting.

but then I'm sure you can find a dozen or so people who never seen him hunt before so maybe I'm wrong and he just did it for show.

as far as what the NRA says- they have some good programs and I agree that the second amendment needs to be protected. however, if you've been a member for long you might have noticed that they are in the pocket of the republican party. almost a division of the party. both groups take care of each other (though the NRA takes way better care of the republican party than the party takes care of the NRA's concerns), it should seem kinda obvious that they would have negative things to say about Kerry.

I'm surprised I haven't heard the 'breaking news' bulletins-
this just in, the NRA backs the Republican candidate in this Presidential election. we were taken completely by surprise. nobody saw this coming.

Seems logical. It is hunting season after all.

Lol, now go hit yourself in the head with a tack hammer. Twice.

Without a doubt, the funniest line in this thread.

As for Kerry supporting gun rights........ sorry; he has that pesky old 20 year record of opposing gun rights as a Senator. So, if you're that easily duped I'm sorry for you.

As for him actually being a hunter, pish and tosh.

Anyone who actually shoots shotguns and saw that clip of him bringing his trusty "double barreled deer shotgun" (the one he crawls around on his belly with to hunt deer?) up and trying to mount it and swing it on a bird can tell in a nanosecond that he has only a distant and passing relationship with his "favorite" gun.

In short, he's no hunter. He's a politician trying to pose as a hunter. And not doing a very good job of that.

let me also say that I have no doubt that kerrie supports the right of American royalty to hunt on the kings land with gun bearers and shotguns and the press.

That has never been in doubt.
