John McCain and the Second Amendment

McCain is a smart politician and knows that in order to gain Republican support he must claim to be a supporter of the second amendment. Now first of all, John McCain ignored and destroyed the first amendment so why would we trust him to uphold any of the other amendments in our Constitution? As you know the second amendment affirms the rights of individuals to own firearms. Not only does it support this right it even says that it shall not even be infringed upon. So how does the Senator’s record stand on the issue? Well, the Gun Owner’s of America website lists Senator McCain with a rating of ‘F’ for 2006. They justify their rating on their website, http://www.gunowners.org/mccaintb.htm. Senator McCain also only managed a rating of ‘C’ from the NRA in 2004. So Senator McCain does not stand strong for my right to keep and bear arms or have them infringed upon. I therefore have yet another disagreement with the Senator from Arizona and will choose to vote for someone who stands strong in the fight for my rights.
