Noted Second Amendment author and scholar David Kopel makes clear in
a recent article that state Senator Tom McClintock is the ONLY major
candidate for governor who deserves the support of gun owners.
"Arnold Schwarzenegger's recent appearance on the Sean Hannity Show
regarding gun control suggests that he is amazingly ignorant of
current gun laws in California," Kopel wrote in National Review
Online.
Schwarzenegger told Hannity that he supports the Brady law and the
federal ban on semiautomatic firearms, but California already has
state laws that are far more restrictive than federal law.
"While the federal ban on so-called 'assault weapons' is scheduled
to sunset in September 2004, the much more severe California
prohibition has no sunset date," Kopel wrote.
Kopel also explains that Schwarzenegger's support for the Brady law
is uninformed because that measure "never affected California gun
sales, because the state's gun laws were more restrictive than the
requirements of the 1993 Brady Bill."
Further, Schwarzenegger indicated that he "would like to close the
loophole on the gun shows." We all know that the entire concept of
a gun show loophole is fiction to begin with -- but even if you
accept the gun grabbers' definition of "loophole," there isn't one
in California! All legal gun sales already go through an FFL in
California, including those made at gun shows.
One wonders whether Arnold is running as a Republican for Governor
of California, or as a Democrat for President of the United States.
(Of course, he is not eligible to become President, but maybe he's
ignorant of that fact, as well.)
In contrast to the anti-gun Schwarzenegger, Kopel says of
McClintock: "The only serious candidate in the California governor's
race who supports Second Amendment rights is State Senator Tom
McClintock."
Please remember to vote for pro-gun Tom McClintock for Governor.
