Looks like he's a pretty athletic guy.
He's pro-gun right?

Well, as you can see, John is an ardent pheasant hunter, and he aims to protect our God-given right to hunt pheasants, and to keep and bear certain kinds of shotguns, because that is the American way. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Also, he once fought in Viet Nam.

From looking at these 2 pics, I can see why he got into politics. Doesn't look like he's too capable when physical skill or cordination is required.

looks like he can't decide whether to shoot that pheasant or take a dump

I saw Kerry's picture in the Des Moines Register when he went on his photo op pheasant hunt here in Iowa. It was clearly a nice sidelock English style double. Might have been a better idea to borrow a working class Remington 870 for the occasion. Much as I hate to admit it, it's probably a good tactic to gain a few votes by assuring "hunters" that he supports their right to own certain guns. It seems to have worked with the firefighters union. I'm still waiting for some politician to show up at a highpower match and have his picture taken holding an AR-15. Then I might give some credence to his support for the right to bear arms. I'm not holding my breath, though.

That faked up shot reminds me of the faked up shot of Prez. Klinton when he made the obligatory trip to the Fat Boys' Duck Club down in Arkansas for his "Ah'm a duk hunter jus' like all you good ol' boys an' Ah ain't a'gonna confiscate ALL your guns, jus' dam' near most of 'em! But don' worry 'cause Ah'll let you keep yore granpap's ol' single shot twelve caliber gun. Hahahahah."
BTW, if Kerry is really hunting in that faked up photo op shot, where are his shooting glasses? Guys I know who hunt out in the upland fields, use shooting glasses to protect their eyes, but, they're not posing for photos and need to be easily recognized, are they?
In my opinion, when Kerry came back from Vietnam, he decided that as long as he couldn't beat the communists, he might as well join them.
FWIW. L.W.

Let's remember what the right to keep and bare arms is all about. It's not so we can keep the freezer full and has nothing to do with hunting. For those of you that don't have a clue. It's to defend our selfs from a Tyrant government. When we have only single shots left you will get the meaning. The day the government comes for my guns, they better decide witch ones are going to die, because they will not get then with out a fight. how many of YOU are truely ready to die to keep your rights! The line starts behind me! I don't expect to see it happen in my lifetime, but what about our kids or thier kids lifetime? It will truely be a sad day. I LOVE MY COUNTRY BUT I FEAR MY GOVERNMENT.

John Kerry on Gun Control
Democratic Party shouldn't be for the NRA Q: Do you find it necessary to kill animals for photo-ops? A: I don't think the Democratic Party should be the candidacy of the NRA. And when I was fighting to ban assault weapons in 1992 and 1993, Dean was appealing to the NRA for their endorsement, and he got it. I believe it's important for us to have somebody who is going to stand up for gun safety in America and make certain that we make our streets safe, our children safe, and not allow people to get assault weapons in America.
Source: CNN "Rock The Vote" Democratic Debate Nov 5, 2003
Supports assault weapons ban & Brady Bill Q: Your views on gun safety. KERRY: There's a story in today's Washington Post that says that Democrats are going to run away from the issue of gun safety. I don't think that we can get elected nationally if we are not prepared to stand up against powerful special interests. Too many die each year from guns. I am for the assault weapons ban. I'm for the Brady Bill.

Violation of the law would result in civil penalties, such as suspension or revocation of the dealer's license, or a fine. Bill S 2260 ; vote number 1998-216 on Jul 21, 1998
Prevent unauthorized firearm use with "smart gun" technology. Kerry signed the manifesto, "A New Agenda for the New Decade": Make America the �Safest Big Country� in the World After climbing relentlessly for three decades, crime rates started to fall in the 1990s. Nonetheless, the public remains deeply concerned about the prevalence of gun violence, especially among juveniles, and Americans still avoid public spaces like downtown retail areas, parks, and even sports facilities.
We need to keep policing �smart� and community-friendly, prohibiting unjust and counterproductive tactics such as racial profiling; focus on preventing as well as punishing crime; pay attention to what happens to inmates and their families after sentencing; use mandatory testing and treatment to break the cycle of drugs and crime; and enforce and strengthen laws against unsafe or illegal guns. Moreover, we need a renewed commitment to equal justice for all, and we must reject a false choice between justice and safety.
Technology can help in many areas: giving police more information on criminal suspects so they do not rely on slipshod, random stop-and-search methods; allowing lower-cost supervision of people on probation or parole; and making it possible to disable and/or trace guns used by unauthorized persons.
Above all, we need to remember that public safety is the ultimate goal of crime policy. Until Americans feel safe enough to walk their neighborhood streets, enjoy public spaces, and send their children to school without fear of violence, we have not achieved public safety.
Goals for 2010 Reduce violent crime rates another 25 percent. Cut the rate of repeat offenses in half. Develop and require �smart gun� technology to prevent use of firearms by unauthorized persons and implement sensible gun control measures. Ban racial profiling by police but encourage criminal targeting through better information on actual suspects. Require in-prison and post-prison drug testing and treatment of all drug offenders.

Did the previous post mean that Kerry "once fought in Viet Nam" or rather that Kerry "fought once in Viet Nam" ?

Yep, that's the sidelock double. Wonder what that cost? That's JFK, just a good 'ol boy who REALLY relates to the common folk. Kinda reminds me of Slick Willy and "I feel your pain".
