Governor Huckabee and Republican sportsmen
took aim at the Democratic presidential ticket today. Huckabee says
hunters should be up in arms over what the governor says is the
threat that a John Kerry presidency would pose to gun rights.
Speaking at a gun club shooting range run by the Remington Arms
company, Huckabee criticized Kerry`s comments that the Second
Amendment right to bear arms should stop with state militia and
should not extend to individuals. The governor also cautioned
Southerners not to be fooled by North Carolina Senator John Edwards
as Kerry`s running mate. The governor says Edwards will try to
portray himself as a fellow Southerner when he does not hunt, fish,
like NASCAR racing or country music.
The governor also had some gag gifts for the presumptive
Democratic nominees for when they come to Arkansas, including a
NASCAR cap in camouflage, a toy shotgun, a Lynard Skynard CD, a
membership application to the National Rifle Association and a
beginner`s rod and reel. The governor was joking with these items,
but said he would take Edwards fishing if the likely Vice
Presidential nominee said he would accept the invitation.
