His personal stance on guns seems a bit schizophrenic (from ontheissues.org):
Voted YES on prohibiting product misuse lawsuits on gun manufacturers. (Oct 2005)
Voted YES on prohibiting suing gunmakers & sellers for gun misuse. (Apr 2003)
Voted YES on decreasing gun waiting period from 3 days to 1. (Jun 1999)
Rated D by the NRA, indicating a pro-gun control voting record. (Dec 2003)

Then there's this gem on his house webpage. That stupid Frank Luntz poll that says the NRA supports gun control:

Now I don't know what to think...
