Hatch's record contradicts support for Second Amendment :: 06/16/2012

Editor, Senator Hatch claims to support the second amendment, but Senator Hatch's voting record tells a different story!

* Concerning the Clinton gun ban; he initially voted for and supported the 1994 Clinton Semi- Auto Ban. (U.S. Senate Roll Call Vote, 103rd Congress- 1st Session, H.R 3355)

* He pushed legislation that would have made target shooters criminals (S.254, Bill Summary & Status - 106th Congress (1999-2000) Senate Amendment 342)

* He supported and voted to confirm the corrupt anti-gun (Fast and Furious) Attorney General Eric Holder. (U.S. Senate roll call vote, 111th Congress- 1st Session, Confirmation of Eric Holder)

* He supported and was a pivotal in seating President Clinton's anti-gun Judge Margaret Marrow. (Congressional Record, 2, 11,1998 p. S 660)

* He voted for the Lautenberg Gun Ban. (U.S. Senate Roll Vote, 104th Congress-2nd Session, S. Amendment 5241 to H.R. 3756)

* He supported mandatory trigger lock sales along with anti-gun Senator Herb Kohl (S.254, Bill Summary & Status - 106th Congress 1999-2000; Senate Amendment 352)

* He voted for a massive crackdown on gun shows and private sales (S.254, Bill Summary & Status - 106 Congress 1999-2000; Senate Amendment 344)

* He voted for gun registration and supported legislation that would have forced many gun shows out of business. (U.S. Senate roll vote, 106 Congress 1st Session, S. 254)

* He sponsored legislation to give BATF sweeping new search and seizure powers (S.3, Bill Summary & Status 104 Congress; 1995-1996)

* He voted for Cass Sunstein who wants to give animals' legal protection in court and wants an out-right ban on hunting. (U.S. Senate roll call vote, 111th congress - 1st Session, Confirmation of Cass R. Sunstein)

* He voted to confirm and championed the appointment of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. (U.S. Senate Roll Call Vote, 103rd Congress - 1st Session, Confirmation of Ruth Bader Ginsburg)

* He voted to confirm Stephen Breyer. (U.S. Senate Roll Call Vote, 103rd Congress- 2nd Session, Confirmation of Stephen Breyer)

It is time to hold Senator Hatch accountable for his long standing anti-gun record and vote for Dan Linljenquist.
