Reply #31: I gave an example in post 21.

For instance, the shortened version lists the abolishment of the ATF. That statement taken by itself sounds pretty wacky. When you read that it is more of an issue of jurisdiction then it does not sound so strange.




Another example is this quote which, when pulled from the full interview, sounds really strange. In the full interview it most likely appears Kerry was merely inattentive.

Q: Do you find it necessary to kill animals for photo-ops?
A: I don't think the Democratic Party should be the candidacy of the NRA. And when I was fighting to ban assault weapons in 1992 and 1993, Dean was appealing to the NRA for their endorsement, and he got it. I believe it's important for us to have somebody who is going to stand up for gun safety in America and make certain that we make our streets safe, our children safe, and not allow people to get assault weapons in America.
