John, at A Keyboard and a .45 has interviewed presidential candidate Duncan Hunter.
Representative Duncan Hunter sparked my interest when he announced that he was throwing his hat into the ring and run for president on the GOP ticket. The Duncan Hunter ‘08 website did an excellent job of defining his core values and beliefs in the areas of the war in Iraq, terrorism, taxes, abortion and the like, but had scant information on his views of gun rights and the Second Amendment.
So what’s a blogger to do other than get in contact with his campaign staff and request an interview?
After correspondence back and forth, and a bit of time to allow Representative Hunter’s staff to vet both myself and my blog, he agreed.
An interview (via email) with presidential candidate Duncan Hunter.
Duncan Hunter had this to say in response to a question from John as to whether or not he would restrict a citizens right to carry a weapon based on cosmetics or ease of use.
“As President, I would veto any bill that reauthorizes the semi-auto ban that was sunset in 2004. These types of bills represent “feel good†measures that impede the rights of law-abiding citizens by banning guns based not on facts but based largely upon how scary they look.â€Â
