The Senator is anti-gun for you, but as for he and his house...

I'm not so eager to accept one site that uses others sites as a direct source, but I think that VoteSmart is pretty reliable, since they just show raw numbers for each issue, as well as actual ratings from lobbying and citizen groups, namely the NRA in this case.

Robert Soles, Jr.'s Ratings and Endorsements - The Voter's Self Defense System - Vote Smart

It's tough to say if the NRA's mostly favorable ratings in the link above could have taken a downward turn before said shooting incident, or even if he could have made a key vote that would make many pro-gunners unhappy, but at least this link indicates that he's not exactly anti-gun, certainly no Chuck "The Schmuck" Schumer or Babs "Strident Feminazi" Boxer.

Also, my search looped right back to INGO, circa 2009.

Whenever I see an old thread linked I always go read it, and it always amazes me how many SHOOTERS there are who posted in it.

Youch!
There were three in that old thread.

Things that are more important to anti-gun politicians than you or your family:

1) Themselves (as evidenced by personal gun ownership for them and/or armed security details assigned to them).
2) Money (armed security in banks).
3) Appearances (pandering to their anti-gun constituents while failing to apply their "rules" to themselves).

Anyone care to enlighten me to any of the laws he supported that were anti-gun?

Sorry Kut, INGO's too busy heating up the tar.

Yes, it's probably in error, but it's funny how no one mentions a bonafide anti-gunner, Carl Rowan.

Just another hypocritical politician. Nothing new really- left wing dems have a mental disorder- just like Hillary fly around promoting the environment in one of the most gas guzzling jets - absolute morons

Now there's a true hypocrite.

Yes, its so much better to pursue your gun control hypocracy with an unregistered gun, preferably provided to you by a relative in federal law enforcement. Did anything ever happen to him besides a slap on the wrist? You or I would STILL be in the hole on that one.

I had to look up Carl Rowen because I forgot what his thing was all about. Heh. It seems he really bought into the mindset that the gun has a personhood. It was a good gun, a legal gun, because it belonged to his FBI son. I kind of imagine that he would have justified shooting anyone with it for any reason, because it was such a righteous gun, being his son's.

And then there are the circumstances. That kid swimming in his pool was such a threat to his life for him to use deadly force.

It's a shame I forgot all about him. His mug was a fitting poster for the face of gun control back in the day.

If he did make a career of "being against ordinary citizens owning guns", how did he get an 'A' rating from the NRA? I know the NRA rating isn't the end all of gun rights advocacy, but I do think the NRA tends to frown on politicians who make careers of that sort of thing.

I don't think we'll ever get this answer on INGO.


So if we ban Que for posting this, do we get CathyInBlue back?

I'm not sure it's automatic. We may need to grovel first.
