Grand Valley 'gunnies' unite for McCain

"GRAND JUNCTION — Former Grand Junction Mayor Gene Kinsey is proud to be a “gunnie.”

Kinsey said Wednesday he thinks Republican presidential candidate John McCain’s voting record on preserving second amendment rights to own guns will allow him to stay a “gunnie.” So he’s voting for McCain.

“I’ve often wondered why I should vote for a candidate if he can’t trust me to own a gun,” Kinsey said. “We’re not all single issue voters, but the second amendment is a touchstone. It’s a window into what the candidate thinks.”

The second amendment reads, “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” McCain has said, “I believe the second amendment ought to be preserved — which means no gun control.” Obama’s Web site does not include a stance on gun control."
