Ken Starr and The Gun Industry--Perfect Together!
Know them by the company they keep....

"You remember Ken Starr. Right, the guy who wrote 336 pages about President Clinton's naughty romps in a $40 million effort to oust him from office.
Well, he's back now, and he's fighting campaign finance reform.
Then we have the National Rifle Association. They spent $25 million on Republican campaigns during the 2000 elections. I can't give you numbers on how many gun deaths have resulted, but it's safe to say they'd love to continue dominating the Washington scene with that sweet green paper.
Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has been campaign finance reform's fiercest opponent in Congress, and leads the legal charge. As Chair of the National Republican Senatorial Committee from 1997-2000, he raised and spent over $125 million in soft money. The system's been good to him; he'd be sad to see it go."
