Letter to the Editor: 'Rifleman' Kerry good for a laugh

September 21, 2004
Toledo Blade

Only the most politically naive or the most pathetically ignorant would not double over in laughter reading the description of John Kerry burnishing his skills as a "rifleman" in an attempt to impress the hunters, shooters, and gun owners in Ohio.

Senator Kerry has spent his entire political career attempting to limit the rights of citizens and sportsmen to own and shoot firearms.

In fact, it now appears that the very weapon used in a related photo opportunity was one of the weapons he proposed to ban in the gun control legislation he co-sponsored only last year.

Perhaps The Blade will nominate Mr. Kerry for the National Rifle Association's Second Amendment man of the year.
