Drudge Lies About Kerry and Shotgun...
http://stinging-nettle.blogspot.com/2004_09_01_stinging-nettle_archive.html#109457345238158320

Drudge is trumpeting that Kerry was photgraphed using a "gun which he would have banned," claiming that a bill Kerry cosponsored would have banned shotguns with "pistol grips."

He's right, the bill would have done that, but the picture Drudge shows is of Kerry using a shotgun for trapshooting which is clearly NOT a pistol grip.

Here, Matt, is a picture of a shotgun with a pistol grip:



Here's the firearm Kerry was given, and which he used to shoot traps:

1. Here's a thread on it from GD04
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x761640

Some DUers are trying to figure out what the gun is. Remington 1100 seems to be the common wisdom here, but Drudge is claiming it's a Beretta.

I also posted a query in J/PS.

shoots a very different sort of "bullet".

4. Drudge wouldn't know about this,

Drill Instructor: (in cadence) This is my rifle, this is my gun.
Recruits: This is for fighting, this is for fun.
Drill Instructor: This is my rifle, this is my gun.
Recruits: This is for fighting, this is for fun


Neither would AWOL.
