Look no farther than the Firearm Confiscation Prohibition Amendment that passed 84-16.

U.S. Senate: Legislation & Records Home > Votes > Roll Call Vote
He voted with the Republican majority....not the 16 (Boxer, Clinton, Durbin, Feiinstein, Kennedy, Shumer.....) who voted against it. |
Yes, I looked at that vote and it further confused me regarding his views on gun laws. I also looked at his website and read his positions on the use of firearms for hunting and then his position on urban crime as it relates to gun control. Given, his postitions as a state Senator, his early positions on gun control, his US Senate votes on gun issues (including court nominees), his positions on the Supreme Court decision on individual's right to have guns, his campaign rhetoric, and website - I have no clue what he would do as President. Like I said earlier, thanks for the attempt.
I acknowledge his vote against his party.
