1. Proposed legislation in Congress would require gun owners and buyers to submit to a host of new restrictions. Concerning this proposed legislation, would you:

2. The Justice Department reported in 1989 that, "Any system that requires a criminal history record check prior to purchase of a firearm creates the potential for the automated tracking of individuals who seek to purchase a firearm." This means that any background check - - whether an "instant check" or otherwise - can result in a registration list of gun owners.

2A. Would you support a repeal of the 1993 Brady instant check? Yes.

2B. If yes, would you introduce legislation repealing this Act? No.

2C. If no to 2B, would you cosponsor such legislation? Yes.

3. Would you oppose legislation requiring background checks on private firearms transactions at gun shows? Yes.

4. So-called "assault weapons" are mechanically identical to all other semi-automatic firearms - firearms which are useful for hunting or self-defense. Nevertheless, Congress banned more than 180 types of semi-automatic firearms based entirely on appearance or accessories. This law is set to sunset in 2004, and no doubt, there will be attempts to extend this ban in perpetuity. Would you oppose legislation to keep in place the 1994 law banning many types of semi-automatic firearms and limiting magazine capacity? Yes.

5. Would you support cutting funds for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (BATF)? No, but I would stop their intrusion into the lives of law-abiding citizens.

6A. Do you believe an individual has a right to use deadly force in defending self and family from violent assault - - both in or away from the home? Yes.

6B. If yes, would you cosponsor legislation protecting this right? Yes.

7. In 1996, Congress enacted a gun ban known as the Lautenberg Domestic Misdemeanor Gun Ban. It disarms otherwise law-abiding citizens for life - -for offenses as slight as spanking a child or grabbing a spouse's wrist.

7A. Would you support a repeal of the Lautenberg Domestic Gun Ban? Yes.

7B. If yes, would you introduce legislation repealing this Act? No.

7C. If no to 7B, would you cosponsor such legislation? Yes.

8. Another gun ban enacted in 1996 is known as Kohl Gun Free Zones Ban. It would create a virtual one-half mile wide "gun free" circle around every school in America (or a 1,000 foot zone going in any one direction from any school). The Congress enacted this ban, even though the Supreme Court had stated the year before in U.S. v Lopez (1995) that the Commerce Clause could not be used to justify banning firearms within a school zone.

8A. Would you support a repeal of the Kohl Gun Free Zones Ban? Yes

8B. If yes, would you introduce legislation repealing this Act? No.

8C. If no to 8B, would you cosponsor such legislation? Yes.

9. Would you oppose a ban on any type of ammunition? Don't know. I don't know enough about ammunitions.

10A.Would you support reciprocity legislation which would allow a person who has the right to carry a concealed weapon in his or here home state to have that right extended to all other states?

It appears to violate State's rights. I would need advice before deciding on this issue.

11. Would you oppose any legislation:

12. Persons who are shot by a properly-working firearm should not be able to sue firearms manufacturers and/or firearms sellers (strict liability). Agree.
