A letter I posted to Kerry's website

[JayS]

This is from the Southern perspective, I guess you could say. It is sort of like what I wish I could have told Al Gore before he ever campaigned out this way.

********************************************************************
I have been trying really hard to support John Kerry. He was not my pick, Edwards was. I knew little about Kerry before he decided to run for President. The more I find out about him, the less I like him. I came to this web page hoping to find a reason to like him. His policies on firearms and crime have been among the biggest issues for me. I see him posing with a shotgun as if that means he wishes to convey the message that he believes the 2nd Amendment is about an individual right to own firearms and not a collective one. He uses information provided by the Brady Bunch that he knows, or should know, is either incorrect or misleading. His work against the "lawsuit immunity bill" shows that he either does not read bills or is too entrenched in politics to vote for what is fair.

I understand that when you are in politics you have to make statements you know are patently untrue but Kerry goes overboard.

It is my hope that Kerry, if elected, will adopt an approach to fighting gun crime like that found at www.psn.gov, will realize that our approach to fighting the trafficing of illegal drugs has failed in every way except to create an efficient and resilent network that carries not only drugs and other contraband, but guns, and makes our streets a war zone of competing gangs. So, Mr. Kerry, while you are out blaming the NRA for all of our society's ills and embracing the Brady Bunch as our savior please take a moment to consider doing something effective to combat gun violence instead of spending time on red herrings like the "assault weapons" ban.

And the link I will post below will show that there are bigger things to worry about than some low power imitation military weapon. Guess what caused this big blast. Ammonium Nitrate. Also known as Fertilizer.
