Bush is not strongly opposed to all of those things.

Safety Devices on All New Guns Bush said Texas will spend about $1 million a year for five years to purchase trigger locks, which would be distributed to citizens who asked for them at police stations and fire departments. "œIt seems like to me one of the things we ought to do is be common-sensical about how we deal with gun safety,"� Bush said. "œAnd if I become the president, I"™m going to ask Congress to appropriate money for a national program to do just the same thing, which is distribute trigger locks for people to use."� Bush proposed that the federal government make $325 million in matching funds available over five years for state and local governments that adopt programs similar to the Texas program. Until recently Bush had opposed mandatory trigger locks and ridiculed rival Sen. John McCain during the South Carolina primary for switching positions on the issue and voting for an amendment to the Senate"™s juvenile justice bill that made trigger locks mandatory.

Background Checks on Gun Show Purchases :An aide to Bush said the governor has "œconsistently supported since 1994 the idea of instant background checks at gun shows to make sure the people we don"™t want to sell guns to are not buying guns."� The aide noted that Bush previously signed legislation prohibiting anyone from carrying a weapon within 300 yards of a school, and holding adults criminally liable if they allow a juvenile access to a loaded gun.

Gun Control:Bush expressed support for some gun control measures, including the ban on assault weapons and laws designed to keep guns out of the hands of juveniles. But he said he did not believe the waiting period for the purchase of handguns that is part of the Brady Act does much good, saying he prefers instant background checks.
Source: Dan Balz, The Washington Post Apr 25, 1999


Gun control:Bush opposed repeal of the 1994 assault weapon ban and indicated his openness to Clinton"™s call to raise the age of legal handgun ownership from 18 to 21. But Bush opposed Clinton"™s call for reinstituting 3-day waiting periods for gun purchases, saying he preferred instant background checks. And while he said he could support national legislation to extend such instant checks to purchases at unregulated gun shows, he"™s made no effort to support a state bill that would have done just that in Texas.

Gun Control: Would sign, but would not push, gun restrictions
Bush has said he would sign a law requiring trigger locks with handgun sales but wouldn"™t push such legislation. Bush has endorsed outlawing the import of certain high-capacity ammunition clips. Bush also would raise the legal age for handgun purchases from 18 to 21.
Source: Judy Holland, Hearst Newspapers Apr 14, 2000

Ban automatic weapons & high-capacity ammunition clips
Supports stronger enforcement of existing gun laws, would provide more funding for aggressive gun law enforcement programs such as Project Exile in Richmond, Virginia
Supports requiring instant background checks at gun shows by allowing gun show promoters to access the instant check system on behalf of vendors
Supports law-abiding American"™s constitutional right to own guns to protect their families and home
Supports the current ban on automatic weapons
Supports banning the importation of foreign made, "œhigh-capacity"� ammunition clips
Supports voluntary safety locks
Opposes government mandated registration of all guns owned by law abiding citizens

[Cougar Mag]

Charlie P., its good to see the truth. Thanks for posting.

[Bushman/hun]

Does this mean the antihunters love bush too? Have never notices that to be the case-
Being a pro hunter i sure wouldnt pick the obvious worse of the 2( kerry) as my choice.
YaYa i know some will do some very odd things in the name of who knows what- poltices?

[Charlie P]

I agree Bush is the better of the two.

[PABuck_HNTR]

which would be distributed to citizens who asked for them

That doesn't sound mandatory to me


Weren't all those Bush statements and stances before Sept 11?
I don't know if he changed his mind on any of them since then, but Kerry's stances are pretty fresh.

Background Checks at Gun Shows do occur already anyway....The only thing that doesn't require a check(in some states) is a private sale from a guy not in business of selling guns regularly for a living and another private individual. Kinda like the newspaper.

he"™s made no effort to support a state bill that would have done just that in Texas.

Bush has said he would sign a law requiring trigger locks with handgun sales but wouldn"™t push such legislation

It seems to me that Bush is a FAR BETTER CHOICE when it comes to guns.

He's NOT PUSHING ANY Gun Control laws, unlike the Former President and the guy who wants to be the next Democrat President.
