Er, We WOULD Bring One If We Hadn't Banned Them First...

clipped from www.johnmccain.com Barack Obama appeared at a fundraiser in Philadelphia last night where he delivered the following remark: “If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun." A couple thoughts from McCain HQ on this. First, Barack Obama has a long track record as a proponent of stringent gun-control regulations--to the point that a questionnaire filled out by his staff, and with the candidate's handwriting on it, stated that that Obama favored a ban on the manufacture, sale, and distribution of handguns. Can we assume that Senator Obama now opposes efforts to ban the possession of handguns? Second, would Obama be carrying a concealed weapon to this fight? Will he have a permit? And finally, we're having second thoughts about our proposed series of town halls.
