He's got his dogs digging deep. First the stolen car thing now the gun thing. Next they will tell you he smoked a joint in the HS bathroom back in 1969.

[b]Recall chief held twice on illegal gun charges
Issa convicted in '70s on misdemeanor count
[/b]
Sacramento -- Rep. Darrell Issa, within months of leaving Army service in the early 1970s, was arrested twice on illegal-weapons charges, including an incident in Michigan that led to a misdemeanor gun conviction, The Chronicle has learned.
Issa's weapons arrests, when he was an ex-GI and college student, have come under new scrutiny as the millionaire San Diego County Republican attempts to oust Gov. Gray Davis in an unprecedented recall campaign. Issa's $1 million in donations have fueled the recall's momentum.
In a news conference Tuesday, gun control groups attacked Issa as an extremist friend of the National Rifle Association who would threaten assault- weapons laws. [b]They showed a video in which Issa's campaign for U.S. Senate in 1998 operated a booth at a Los Angeles County gun show,[red] where high-powered weapons and Nazi memorabilia were being sold.

On the issue of gun incidents, Issa in the past has answered questions when asked but never volunteered information. He has talked in general terms about a gun conviction, but court records reviewed by The Chronicle show that Issa was twice arrested in 1972 on weapons charges -- once in Ohio, once in Michigan.

Wilcox also blasted what he called the "goon squad" from anti-recall forces for releasing information about decades-old gun charges and showing a videotape of the Great Western Gun Show from May 1998, where the Issa campaign set up a booth. [b][red]The video showed people selling Nazi flags and German army helmets inside the show, along with hundreds of guns, [/red][/b]and a lone Issa worker sitting outside the entrance of the show in a booth with a large Issa sign.

If Red Davis doesn't get the boot you can blame the Nazis.[whacko]
