I got my new Field and Stream magazine in the mail a couple of days ago and they have interviews in it with both Bush and Kerry. They talk to them mainly about conservation and they ask some pretty in-depth questions but they also talk about gun issues.
Bush seems to mostly be a fisherman but he seems to have a decent gun collection for someone who doesn't hunt all that much aside from maybe bird-hunting a few times a year. It's evident that Bush isn't much of a shooter though when he's naming off all the guns in his safe. Here's the quote:
He also says:
Bush never refers to Kerry at all or says one negative thing about him. The only thing was when they asked him if he could take Kerry on the skeet field he says:
This is in contrast to Kerry's interview where he attacked Bush several times and gave reasons why he thinks he's "better than Bush."
They asked him some tough questions (as they did Bush on the environment) about guns. They ask him what he thinks about the NRA giving him an "F" rating throughout his senate career.
Here's his response:
He goes on to say:
Wow...doesn't he see the contradiction there?!
Bush talked about his stand on guns too...typical BS that we all know...supports the AWB, says it should be extended but not expanded. Also says "The best policy is to find and prosecute those who commit crimes with guns." Favors the instant background check.
As usual, despite saying things I don't like to hear such as supporting the AWB, Bush came off like a sincere guy giving an open, honest interview and Kerry came of like an arrogant ass.
One more thing - Bush also mentions that Cheney is a great shot and that he shoots a lot.
As I said, they both talked heavily about environmental and conservation issues as well but I'm pretty much just addressing the related gun stuff. Kerry also dogged the NRA and chastised them for referring to the ATF as jackbooted thugs.
This is the October issue of F&S.
