OHIO: Do NOT vote Kasich! Emergency 2A alert!

**Doc Safari** · 03-15-16, 13:12

I just got an email from Bravo Company. In it they reproduced a letter from Bill Clinton to John Kasich, dated 1994, praising him for his support of the Assault Weapons ban.

Voila:

Yeah, I got that as well. We must be shopping at the same places.
I hope Trump trumps him today and this is the last we hear from the slack jawed sissy.

Win or loose, he's staying in the race. Someone is funding the crap out of him. You can see in his face that he knows he's loosing his a$$ in this race but his contributors are throwing money at him. Mitt Romney all over again...

He did vote for the AWB, and apparently doesn't regret it

Q: Let me pick up on another issue that some conservatives have with you. Back in 1994, you voted for the assault weapons ban that Bill Clinton was proposing, which earned you an "F" from NRA. Now, your NRA rating is a straight "A". What would you say to a gun rights advocate who is going to say I'm not sure I like the guy who at one time had an "F" from the NRA?
KASICH: That was an assault weapon ban. I'm a Second Amendment advocate. I don't believe the government should be taking guns from people. I think people have a right to be armed. It's about keeping the Second Amendment and it's allowing legitimate gun owners to be able to do what they want, which is exercise their constitutional right. So people don't need to worry about that.
Q: Do you regret your vote for the assault weapons ban in '94?
KASICH: No, when I look at it now, it was superfluous. We were adding a law that had no impact. And I don't think that's ever smart to do.

But it does appear he has moved to more pro-2A

If you're not going to vote for people who have supported an AWB in the past, your only option is basically Cruz.

It's a sad day in America when the two major guys on the ballot are Barack Obama and a guy who has actually signed an AWB into law.

Yet, for some reason, people kept exclaiming the need to remove Obama at all costs. Before Newtown, I think Obama was one of the most pro-2A Presidents I've had in my life.

I doubt any of the (R) candidates will support a new AWB. More important is will they nominate justices who will support 2A, and will they stand up to a (D) Congress following another Sandy Hook if/when that happens.

Really? I find that hard to believe.

Yeah, weird right? Obama, a guy who is a democrat, from Hawaii and Chicago, and thus is likely to be extremely anti-2A... but hadn't proved it. Romney, who actually signed an AWB and a universal health care law into effect.
