Was Dem presidential hopeful John Kerry seen this weekend waving a gun which would have been banned if legislation he co-sponsored became law?

Kerry co-sponsored S. 1431 last year (“The Assault Weapons Ban and Law Enforcement Protection Act of 2003) which would have banned a "semiautomatic shotgun that has a pistol grip.”

Kerry was presented with the gun during a Labor Day stop in Racine, West Virginia.

"I thank you for the gift, but I can\'t take it to the debate with me," Kerry told a cheering crowd as he held up the device.

Photos show Kerry\'s hand resting on the semiautomatic shotgun\'s "pistol grip."

That shotgun does not have a pistol grip.  A shotgun with a pistol grip looks like this:



Regarding the "gift" transaction... he observed the law.  What\'s the problem?

That\'s just funny.  I heard about that the other day.  Why would his handlers allow him to do that?  Obviously they were asked before the rally if that would be a good idea.  Funny stuff.

Why would a gun with a pistol grip be banned and another not? You can still aim and shoot. Seems rather pointless to me.
