McCain Ad Promotes Gun Show Checks
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - Gun control proponents say the campaign for
background checks at gun shows is on the right track now that Sen. John
McCain has begun delivering the message. In television ads for the measures
in Oregon and Colorado, the Arizona Republican says that because of a legal
loophole felons have bought and sold thousands of guns at shows. "Many
were later used in crimes,'' McCain says. "That's wrong.''
Airtime in both states for the 30-second spot has exceeded $1 million, paid
by billionaire marketing mogul Andrew J. McKelvey, founder of Americans for
Gun Safety. The ads began appearing Wednesday. McKelvey, a Republican,
recruited McCain to break a stereotype of gun-control advocates as liberal
Democrats, The New York Times reported Thursday.
