Here is the rating from the 106th Congress wherein Anne Northup rates a zero on the protection of the Second Amendment. During this Congress Anne matched gun grabbers like Nancy Pelosi and Maxine "murky" Waters vote for vote. Governor Fletcher was in the U.S. Congress then and scored a very respectable 83%. Here are the issues and here are the votes. Prove it to yourself.
Federal Vote Scorecard - 106th Congress, Second Session House of Representatives 106th Congress, Second Session
Vote Descriptions:
1. Stopping the BATF from enforcing the Clinton and Wesson pact (07/20/2000, Roll Call No. 427) 07/20/2000 -- On July 20, 2000, Rep. John Hostettler (R-IN) forced a vote on an amendment that would have forbidden the Treasury Department-- and the BATF specifically-- from enforcing the Clinton & Wesson pact. The implementation of the agreement primarily relies upon the establishment of an Oversight Commission (which will include a representative of the BATF). Rep. Hostettler's amendment would have prevented the use of taxpayer monies to fund that commission--an anti-gun agency that has never been authorized by Congress. The amendment to H.R. 4871 failed by a vote of 214-204. A vote in favor of the amendment is rated as a "+".
2. Cutting off enforcement of the Clinton and Wesson pact (06/26/2000, Roll Call No. 324) 06/26/2000 -- On June 26, 2000, Rep. Hostettler forced a vote on an amendment to H.R. 4690. The Hostettler provision would have forbidden the Justice Department from in any way enforcing the Clinton & Wesson pact -- an agreement that applies to ALL firearms sold by Smith & Wesson dealers, not just guns that are manufactured by the gun maker. The amendment failed by a vote of 201-196. A vote in favor of the amendment is rated as a "+".
3. Reining in HUD's gun control agenda (06/21/2000, Roll Call No. 306) 06/21/2000 -- On June 21, 2000, Rep. John Hostettler (R-IN) forced a vote on the VA-HUD appropriations bill (H.R. 4635) to curb the administration's ability to bring more communities into the federal agreement with Smith & Wesson. Because of the Hostettler amendment, the Clinton administration will not be able to issue press releases or have its lawyers help the coalition of state and local governments (the Communities for Safer Guns Coalition) that are conspiring against the gun industry. The amendment passed by a vote of 218-207. A vote in favor of the amendment is rated as a "+".
4. Denying enforcement of S&W sell-out (06/21/2000, Roll Call No. 308) 06/21/2000 -- On June 21, 2000, Rep. Hostettler forced a vote on an amendment to H.R. 4635 that would have forbidden HUD outright from enforcing the gun control agreement that was signed in March by the Clinton administration and Smith & Wesson. The agreement applies to ALL firearms sold by Smith & Wesson dealers, not just guns that are manufactured by S&W. The amendment failed by a vote of 219-206. A vote in favor of the amendment is rated as a "+".
5. Conyers motion to instruct (04/11/2000, Roll Call No. 118) 04/11/2000 -- Anti-gun motion to instruct. Rep. John Conyers (D-MI) offered a non-binding motion to instruct House-Senate negotiators to bring the anti-gun juvenile bill out of a conference committee. The motion passed 406-22 on April 11, 2000. The motion asks the House-Senate conferees to produce a bill that contains some Project Exile type provisions, as well as the bulk of the gun restrictions that were in the original juvenile bill -- things such as a ban on private sales of firearms at gun shows (that are not subjected to registration background checks), anti-safety trigger lock provisions, an import ban on politically incorrect ammo clips, a young adult ban on possessing certain semi-automatic firearms, etc. A vote against the motion is rated as a "+".
6. Lofgren anti-gun motion to instruct (03/15/2000, Roll Call No. 50) 03/15/2000 -- Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) brought a Motion to Instruct on March 15, 2000. While this motion urged the juvenile crime bill conferees to begin meeting within two weeks, it is non-binding and can be completely ignored. The measure passed 218-205. A vote against the Motion to Instruct is rated as a "+".

Steele,
It's really weak to take someone else's post and paste it in word for word. It's especially weak when the post is bs. Anne's record on guns is as good, if not better than Ernie's. Plus, I hear your boy Billy is weak on guns.
Wow - weak, weak, weak - a good description of your post.
Who's the average Kentuckian gonna trust on the gun issue in this race? A bunch of kooks or the NRA? That's a slam dunk. We in Kentucky know the NRA, trust the NRA, and believe the NRA will fight for our gun owning interests. When it gives Anne (that is her name, BTW) an "A" take note.
