The incident ended when Boswell's 22-year-old grandson grabbed a gun from another room and pointed it at the intruder -- sending him running into the woods...[More]I don't have the time or inclination to delve deeper, but will simply note that a quick check shows GOA gives him a D- and NRA gave him an A in 2003, evidently after he'd voted against decreasing waiting periods a few years earlier.

Ummm.. "voted to decrease waiting period"? I assume that info is from here: http://ontheissues.org/House/Leonard_Boswell_Gun_Control.htm I looked up the bill HR2122 in 1999.. he voted "No" on it.. it was the "Mandatory Gun Show Background Check Act" http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d106:h.r.02122:
ReplyDeleteCall me crazy and maybe I missed something, but it looks like I should be glad he voted against that and it doesn't have to do with decreasing a waiting period. I didn't even know there was a Fed waiting period
