Terrible gun record for Kasich

Myth #1 - 'It was only ONE (terrible) vote to ban guns'

The first myth perpetuated by those working to prop up Kasich on the gun issue has been to downplay the full extent of his anti-gun voting record.
Consider the following email from State Rep. Seth Morgan (R-36), distributed last Friday evening.
"Say what you want about John Kasich-and I don't like his vote in 1994 for the assault weapons ban anymore than you do-but he has a pretty decent gun record since then.
​
That "pretty decent gun record" Morgan is talking about included the following votes:

  • Against stopping the harassment of law-abiding gun owners by the BATFE in 1995
  • Against repeal of the Clinton/ Schumer Gun Ban in 1996
  • Against big game hunting in 1997
  • For restricting gun shows and increasing background checks aimed at closing down gun shows in 1999
  • Against abolishing the DC Gun Ban (also in 1999)
When, other than election eve, would a pro-gun Republican ever consider that to be a "pretty decent gun record?"
And of course those were just the votes that came after his infamous 1994 vote and advocacy for the Clinton/Schumer Gun Ban, which earned him the NRA's F rating. Previous to that "pretty decent gun record" from the mid-late '90's, Kasich had also voted for handgun restrictions in 1986, and for a ban on deer hunting in 1992.

While the economy sucks in Ohio, it will eventually rebound. If we have another anti-gun politician in place, we'll never get rid of our archaic gun laws, and we have a gun bill passed by the senate that is lingering in the house that could be coming to your desk after the break. Sorry, John, but I have to give Ted the job. You bring too much bad ju-ju to the table for my liking, and for me, your past performance is indicative to me of future performance. You say you're pro gun the night before the election, but I'm not taking my chances on a wolf in sheep's clothing.

Governor could be his step to national office, where he, along with other anti-gun legislators being stroked with anti-gun lobbyist's campaign money, could permanently destroy our gun rights. Go back into retirement, John Kasich.
