McCain, not a gun owner???

[rabbitstew]

Do you think its odd that McCain has such strong ties with the NRA and its supporters, while not own a single gun? He is so passionate during his NRA speeches but seemed cautious about his answer during a political debate viewed by a huge group of non-gun owning Americans. Just something that grabbed my attention. What do you think? Here is a youtube.com link.

Just because you support a cause doesn't mean you have to be actively engaged in it - does it?

yea i enjoy air races you dont see me rushing out to buy an at-6

cleaning them is annoying he probably borrows what ever he needs and lets them clean it

[hawk1]

Great to hear that a "non-gun owner" has strong NRA ties. Shows he values that amendment too...

[yellowfin]

I believe McCain's support of gun rights about as much as I trust a buzzard with a newborn kitten.

[battleship]

Perhaps he hasent heard of Calguns and the sweet deals you can find here.

Actaully i find it a litte troubling that he does not have a gun, yet has strong ties with the NRA and gives speeches to them.

How can one mix with a group , give speeches expect there attention and yet not have the one item that bonds all NRA members namely a gun.

I am sure he has been offered a gun of some make as a token of respect, and gratitude from there many members, i would be hard pressed to think otherwise, as many members would also know of his lack to bear arms.

I wonder how he passes such an offer up with out looking a bit of a sharllerton.

Title: Mayor Michael Bloomberg uses John McCain TV ad to promote gun control

"New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, founder of the anti-gun front group Mayors Against Illegal Guns (MAIG), has released a TV calling for the closure of the so-called "gun show loop hole." The ad features footage of Hillary Rodham Clinton, Barack Obama and John McCain, all expressing support for closing the "gun show loop hole." John McCain has long supported such anti-gun measures. In 2000, McCain did TV ads for George Soros funded anti-gun campaigns in Colorado and Oregon. View Bloomberg and MAIG's ad here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwzaivgpaDk"

If you think John "The Jackal" McCain is to be really trusted with supporting our 2nd amendment rights (as he purports in his NRA Convention speech) then you are in for a rude awakening. This is the man who muzzled First Amendment rights with his bipartisan McCain-Feingold law (I refuse to call this trashing of the First Amendment "campaign reform" ) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biparti...ign_Reform_Act

I know the man has been tortured serving his country in 'Nam and I respect all soldiers and their sacrifices for God and country. But this man has evidently been brainwashed by the enemy, whether foreign or (left wing) domestic. He is going to screw us gun owners just as hard as Obama or Ms. Clinton would, even if he wears a condom (i.e., cloak of the Republican: see, G.W. Bush, who has perfected the technique).......it's still a screwing all the same.

We've set the table for a dark chapter in our country's history these next few years. In my next post, I'm going to point the finger at who I think who has the lion's share of responsibility for the mess we are in (notwithstanding the liberal curse we have been infected with).

Yeah, you can see it in his face on the question - it was like a contortion. McCain is not really natural with the idea of civilian gun ownership as I understand it. I hope I am wrong, and someone show me the light...

A little far fetched isn't that?
First, he has atleast one item that "bonds" all NRA members and that is the Second Amendment!
Second, you are sure he's been given a firearm by "someone", not knowing for sure if he has or hasn't, then go on to "wonder how he passes such an offer up with out looking a bit of a sharllerton"...

Come on,...

All other political agendas aside just looking at the three candidates, who do you think would be the best surpporter of the 2nd amendment right to bear arms.

I once heard Hillary say in a speach that she is all for people who have a passion for collecting guns and that she understands how important that is to them, i havent heard zilch in a positive light by the other 2 candidates, who is more trusting if there is such a thing when it comes to gun ownership.

What McCain did 30 years ago was what happened 30 years ago and is about as relevent today as accordion lessons are to deer hunting.

You know, I don't need to compare McCain to the other two democrats to re-assure myself of who to vote for. I know damn well where the two democrats come from and where they want to take this country. I'm not liking it at all.
You or you other guys complaining about not knowing about McCains pro-gun stance want to proclaim Hillary's passion for the second amendment, go for it. She'll for sure make you look like a fool in the end...Obama's even worse...

P.S. I once heard Hillary in a speech tell how she dodged sniper fire in Afghanistan. That should tell you something.

Hawk im merely speculating, im not sure either way, but the begining threader said he does not own a gun, that was news to me, and i was a little shocked by it. to be honest i would of put money on it that he did have a gun or rifle, but people here are saying differently. Actions speak louder than words, a man can preach all he wants to a crowd and let them believe and trust in Him Adolf Hitler is a shining example of this ability to pull the covers over many eyes.
I want to believe in McCains surpport for the 2nd amendment but it would be much more set in stone if he had an actually interest in what it stands for.

[Harrison_Bergeron]

Note to all the other non-McCain supporters: Don't argue with the other side they are right, you will lose. McCain may not own a gun, but Barack's middle name is Hussein, what else needs to be said? Any attempt at rationalizing the cons of a dem will get you branded a pinko liberal, McCain is a tried and true friend of the second, maybe he just hasn't found the gun he likes yet, he's probably waiting for a smart gun so the kiddies don't get hurt.

Just about the most disrespectful, uneducated thing Ive ever had the displeasure of reading.... I knew there was a good reason they kicked you off the CCW board.

Sonny, the man HUNG UPSIDE DOWN, BY HIS ELBOWS, FROM A CEILING BEAM for the better part of 7 years for this country. You may not like his policies, but show some respect for his service and sacrifice. And if you can't, make yourself look brighter than you are and keep it to yourself.
