Gunner Delay Blasts Opponent

Republican Attorney General candidate Gunner Delay blasted his Democratic opponent Dustin McDaniel on gun rights Wednesday during a campaign stop in Mountain Home. ... Delay pointed to McDaniel's involvement as an attorney in a lawsuit against Remington Arms filed on behalf of victims of the 1998 Jonesboro Westside shooting that resulted in the deaths of four students and one teacher. ...

The lawsuit alleged that teaching a child to use a gun is antisocial and dysfunctional, and the gun used in the shootings didn't have a trigger lock which made it defective, Delay said. "I think it's very dangerous to think this way," Delay said. "That's the way Ted Kennedy thinks. That's the way John Kerry thinks. That's not the way we think in Arkansas."
