Sen. John McCain, the Republican Party’s choice as 2008 presidential contender, has repeatedly stated his opposition to gun control, which he called "a proven failure in fighting crime." He has also opposed waiting periods for gun purchases and re-instating the federal assault weapons ban.
So why, as Reuters reported, has the National Rifle Association only given McCain a "C" grade on gun issues?
"(McCain) has supported legislation requiring gunmakers to include trigger locks with their products," Reuters reported. "(He) has supported mandating background checks on gun buyers at gun shows."
The good news for McCain?
"The National Rifle Association gives him an average grade of C for his position on guns but says he has a perfect voting record since 2007 and his grade may be revised."
