John McCain on Gun-Control: Another Flip-Flop
Here's John McCain's record on gun control, and it's anything but consistent:
In 1993, John McCain voted against the Brady Bill and the Assault Weapons Ban.
In 1999, John McCain voted against closing the gun show loophole -- only a year later to cut a commercial supporting the Colorado ballot initiative to close the gun show loophole.
In 2004, John McCain voted against the Feinstein amendment extending the assault weapons ban another 10 years.
That's the McCain record. Flip-flop.

He voted AGAINST banning assault weapons? Golly, how much National Rifle Association money do you have to take to make that electable? Has anybody checked out the timing on the votes in relationship to when his re-election campaigns were running? It wouldn't be too surprising if they matched up would it?
