NRA Ad Falsely Accuses Kerry
It says he's sponsoring a proposal to ban "every pump shotgun" and
voted "to ban deer-hunting ammunition." Don't believe either claim.
Summary
The National Rifle Association Political Victory Fund began airing a TV
ad Oct. 26 falsely accusing Kerry of voting to ban deer-hunting
ammunition. In fact, what Kerry voted for was a proposal to outlaw rifle
ammunition "designed or marketed as having armor piercing capability."
The NRA ad also claims Kerry is co-sponsoring a bill "that would ban
every semiautomatic shotgun and every pump shotgun." That's false.
Kerry co-sponsored extension of the now-expired assault-weapon ban, a
measure that would have expanded the ban to cover military-style shotguns
but specifically exempts pump-action shotguns.
