| Description | Cheney Tells NRA Kerry a Threat to Gun Owners
The Honolulu Advertiser
Vice President Dick Cheney portrayed President Bush and himself as champions of the Second Amendment - and Democratic candidate John Kerry as a potential threat to gun owners - in a speech at the National Rifle Association's 133rd annual convention Saturday. "John Kerry's approach to the Second Amendment has been to regulate, regulate and then regulate some more," Cheney said, citing votes against legislation that would protect gun makers from lawsuits and in favor of allowing federal authorities to randomly inspect gun dealers without notice. Cheney did not address the federal assault weapons ban, which expires in September, and which the NRA maintains has been ineffective.
Earlier in the day, Tom Mauser, whose son, Daniel, was killed with an assault weapon in the Columbine High School killings five years ago was turned away by a security guard as several conventioneers applauded. A couple of conventioneers yelled "Get a life" and "Vote for Bush." |
