Political doublespeak to keep the 1999 AWB from becoming  a recall issue.

Let the mudslinging begin!  Davis' supporters are VERY good at digging up dirt from anyone's past while at the same time overlooking Davis' own very current and very visible shortcomings.

If this becomes a gun issue, it is going to be a test for the CA voters to see if they view Davis' stance on guns is aligned with their own.

I do love how the article says things like "in  1998 [Issa] operated a booth at a Los Angeles County gun show, where high-powered  weapons and Nazi memorabilia were being sold."  What a way to color Issa in a white-supremacist light.
