no wonder MSLSD loves him so much!
Kasich’s antipathy towards gun rights is no secret to anyone who’s watched his career.
He famously joined a gaggle of fellow-RINO’s and cast the deciding vote to impose a ban on semi-auto firearms. For this, he received a personal letter of thanks from a gun-hating Bill Clinton.
Kasich voted for background checks in 1993, a system where roughly 95% of denials are “false positives.” Loretta Lynch’s Justice Department has, since November, shifted FBI employees to insure that, if you’re illegally blocked by NICS from purchasing a firearm, you can never get your record corrected.
In 1999, Kasich voted to retain restrictive gun ban in Washington, D.C. Not only that, Kasich joined the effort to pass 90% of Clinton’s anti-gun agenda as a form of “gun control lite.”
Elements of the Kasich/Clinton agenda included:
(1) Provisions making it virtually impossible to legally teach kids how to use firearms;
(2) A gun show ban (masquerading as a gun show Instant Check); and
(3) Mandates to require you to “lock up your guns.”
Had Clinton been successful in passing his post-Columbine anti-gun agenda, it would have provided a legislative platform, which easily could have eviscerated the Second Amendment over the last decade-and-a-half.
But Kasich’s efforts to outlaw guns — drip-by-drip — continues to this day.
Kasich continues to be a chief advocate of actual or de facto amnesty, claiming that enforcing our immigration laws would be “inhumane.”
Of course, if Kasich gets his way, the legalization of 11 million illegals will have the same effect on the American electorate that the 1986 Simpson-Mazzoli amnesty had on California. The country as a whole would become deep “anti-gun blue.”
And, of course, Kasich was one of the first RINO’s to legitimize the anti-gun ObamaCare program by bringing its massive Medicaid segment into his state.
