Rural voters beware - John Kerry is coming to your town. And don't worry about your gun rights, because

"We will do things to make sure people understand that guns should not be an issue because John Kerry is a sportsman, a hunter," said Mr. Norris, who helped Mr. Kerry win the Iowa caucuses earlier this year.

He's a hunter? I've seen him ride a snowboard, so I guess that qualifies him as a sportsman. Never seen him shoot anything.

And this is a laughable stretch

While Mr. Kerry has supported some "gun safety" issues like the ban on assault weapons, the Kerry campaign says, the candidate is firmly committed to protecting the Second Amendment.

Firmly committed? One thing you can't say about rural voters is that they're gullible. The Kerry campaign, apparently, thinks they'll buy his lines hook, er, line, and sinker.
