that even with open anti-gun track records, the NRA posts quotes
from candidates which are clearly lies, and never questions
any of them.

John McCain
In 2000, John McCain used thousands in out of state money to
campaign to end private sales of firearms at gun shows in Oregon
and Colorado. He succeeded. For some views of McCain from the
left, see
here.
Fred Thompson(Dropped
out)
Fred Thompson supported the notorious "Lautenberg"
law that has denied gun rights to untold thousands of Americans
because of minor and sometimes nonexistent infractions claimed
to be "domestic violence."
Mike Huckabee (DROPPED
OUT)
Huckabee has been openly supportive of gun rights as in this
interview where he stated "The Second Amendment
is about freedom. It`s about protecting ourselves, our families,
our property, and ultimately, if necessary -- I know this sounds
pretty bold -- but from our own government, when they get out
of control. That`s what it`s all about."
However, he has endorsed extending the failed record keeping
system that was greatly expanded by the passage of the NRA's
gun control bill HR 2640.
