...members of your immediate family own a gun? If so, provide complete ownership and registration information. Has the registration ever lapsed? Please also describe how and by whom it is used and whether it has been the cause of any personal injuries or property damage.The NRA has taken up arms (figuratively) over this clause in the questionnaire, condemning it as "biased" on the basis that applicants are not questioned on their use of motor vehicles, arguing that more deaths and injuries occur through auto accidents than firearms. South Carolina Senator Jim DeMint spoke out against the question, declaring his intent...
...might be McCain. All his greatest hits as a Senator are variations on the same theme: If both sides are mad at me, I must be doing something right. His crusade for campaign-finance reforms was opposed by interest groups ranging from naral on the left to the nra on the right.

"I'm a mainstream Democrat, a rural Democrat, a middle-of-the-road Democrat," he says...
Ever since Palin took the stage, Obama's aides have seemed especially clueless about how to react to her and almost blind to her cultural power as a middle-class mom with five kids and an NRA card. They seemingly can't decide whether to attack her as a book-banning Bush-of-the-North extremist who brought partisanship and cronyism to small-town government, dismiss her as a provincial novice in over her head, brand her as a double-talker who opposes pork only when it isn't hers, or simply ignore her. According to a TIME poll, McCain...
