McCain historically hasn't been pro-gun all the time, but still, this is some very strong language. I'm going to have to look at this guy a little more carefully and figure out if he's willing put his money where his mouth is.
I always liked him and backed him in the primaries against W. Since then he's gotten to chummy with Democrats. I also don't like that he took this long to come out on this issue.

RE: Wow, McCain Speaks Up On Gun Control
I liked him too and did cast my vote towards him in the primaries in 2004. I don't care for him now due to his pro war position. He is a stay the course guy and is bucking public sentiment on the handling of the war. He and George are two of the big guys who seem to put party first rather than constituent wishes or public good.

i aint' going to look atMcCain at all. He is just like Romney, Rudy Baby and theplethora of "pro-gun" Democrats that are running. MCCain has whined for five years for more gun control and now he claims to be with us-just like John Kerry. Where are you Senator Thompson?
McCain wants "better ways to idnetify dangerous people."??Yet this perp had been identified, and classified by psychiatrists as "mentally ill", and a danger to himself and others over a year before this rampage! His peers, both in high school and college,were all aware of his bizarre behavior, which began even before he graduated high school. Yet the record of all this for some reason did not make it into the NICS system, to prevent him from acquiring firearms!
If his record was not disqualifying, then what good is the Instant Check BS anyway?? Just another way to harrass those who are NOT NUTS??
