There’s your sportsman president for you
Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry (news – web sites) said Friday that President Bush failed to protect Americans from criminals and terrorists by letting a ban on assault weapons expire next week.
“In the al-Qaida manual on terror, they were telling people to go out and buy assault weapons, to come to America and buy assault weapons,” Kerry said. “Every law enforcement officer in America doesn’t want us selling assault weapons in the streets of America, but George Bush, he says, ‘Well, I’m for that.'”
As he frequently tells voters on the campaign trail, Kerry said he’s a hunter and fisherman who respects the right of Americans to own guns. He has pledged to protect Second Amendment rights and said the ban can be reinstated without trampling those rights.
“I mean, heavens to Betsy, folks, we’ve had that law on the books for the last 10 years, and there’s not a gun owner in America who can stand up and say, ‘They tried to take my guns away,'” Kerry said.
Well, they tried to keep me from getting guns made after 1994. Of course, it’s obvious that he doesn’t understand the bill. Hell, he doesn’t understand bills he cosponsors. Sportsman, my ass.

Why come to America and buy “assault weapons” when you can go to any open-air market in Africa or Southwest Asia and buy machine guns?

Of course he thinks the ban is compatible with the 2nd Amendment; he thinks the 2nd protects the rights of “hunters and sportsmen.”
