�If there was any doubt about John Kerry�s true position on the Second 
Amendment, his endorsement from the Brady Campaign should clear the 
air,� said Chris W. Cox, the National Rifle Association�s chief 
lobbyist.  �John Kerry stands with other gun banners like Dianne 
Feinstein, Ted Kennedy, and Chuck Schumer -- each one commended by the 
Brady Campaign for their anti-gun records.



�It�s shameless and dishonest to spend your entire career voting against 
gun owners, then try to repackage yourself for a presidential bid,� 
added Cox. �A true hunter and sportsman would never seek and accept the 
endorsement of groups who advocate banning guns, banning ammunition, and 
licensing and registering law-abiding gun owners.�



The following are just a few of Kerry�s votes against America�s 
sportsmen and gun owners:

voted to ban most center-fire rifle ammunition, including many common 
rounds used by hunters and target shooters (Vote No. 28, March 2, 2004).
co-sponsor of legislation to ban all semi-automatic shotguns and 
detachable-magazine semi-automatic rifles, a gigantic step toward 
bringing Australian-style gun control to the U.S. (Signed on as 
co-sponsor of S. 1431 on Nov. 21, 2003).
voted to hold the highly regulated American firearms industry legally 
responsible for the illegal acts of violent criminals (Vote No. 24, 
March 2, 2004; Vote No. 25, March 2, 2004).
Kerry says, "I think you ought to tax all ammunition, personally, I 
think you ought to tax guns.� (CNN "Late Edition," Nov. 7, 1993)
Kerry has a 100% rating from gun-control groups and is called �a hero� 
by anti-hunting extremists like PETA.
