"Michael Barnes, President of Handgun Control, today praised Senators John McCain of Arizona and Joe Lieberman of Connecticut for introducing bipartisan legislation to close the gun show loophole.
"By introducing this legislation today, they refute claims by some naysayers that gun control is not a winning issue," Barnes said. "Here are two of the most prominent members of the Senate, of different political parties, focusing on gun control as a key issue. In doing so, they recognize that Americans want sensible laws passed to reduce the epidemic of gun violence in this country." "

""On the issue of protecting American families with sensible gun laws, Senator Lieberman is an honest, thoughtful legislator. Senator Lieberman voted for the Brady Law, for the assault weapons ban, and for the Lautenberg Amendment last May that would completely close the gun-show loophole. It was that vote, by the way, in which Vice President Gore broke the Senate's tie, indicating again that the Vice President's vote on always hard-fought gun issues can be a critical one.
"In contrast, Governor Bush's running mate Dick Cheney, who voted for cop-killer bullets and for allowing the manufacture of plastic guns, is wildly out of the mainstream on the gun issue. Joe Lieberman, whose dedication to keeping guns out of the hands of children and criminals could not be stronger, reflects the views of his Connecticut constituents, but also of more than 80% of the American people.

But then when do facts ever matter to our Democrat-bashers?
