Max, over in Rime I recently read a speach by Dole to I believe the
Virginia police organizations.  Not only did he actually say he would
veto it, he proposed many more gun control laws, all based on Virginias
(it was a Virginia speach).  Further background investigations, more
paperwork, more restrictions on who can own a gun, more types outlawed.
He was in fact quite clear in his anti-gun stance.
The fact is (and it's fact, not opinion) Dole is vehomently anti-gun.
Oh yea, one other thing, by his own words, the second amendment applies
to the _military_, not citizens.
