I was reading an article in a magazine and they falsely claimed it was recent news. So I looked it up today on the Internet. This news event occurred back in 2007. I was always under the impression (maybe a false impression?) that our senator Inouye is anti-gun. But after reading this article maybe he is not?

But then I thought WTF? Why does Inouye raise a couple of million dollars for the Citadel Shooting Sports program and we can't get $10k to fix our range roof and a few more dollars to paint the place?

He is pro-military but I'm not sure of his record about being pro-gun. I could be wrong???

All of our top leaders are rated "F" for gun rights in Hawaii, and not surprisingly they are all democrats. We have a handful of gun rights supporters in the state legislature, but the good majority are anti-gun.   I think Lingle would has a good shot at being elected and she usually scores an A or B.

Yep, like zippz said he and all the others in Congress for Hawaii graded "F".  I also distinctly remember him and Akaka voting against the bill that forbade confiscation of privately-owned firearms during an emergency ala New Orleans:  http://gunowners.org/a071406.htm.  So he would've been fine with taking all your guns away - for your own good of course  .  He deserves respect for what he did in World War 2, especially having earned the Medal of Honor.  Other than that though...

Hes like a real life Darth Vader, was a good guy until he got home and the dark side corrupted him for evil.

Apparently being a Medal of Honor recipient doesn't have much to do with loving freedom. 

Yes he is anti-gun...I got a letter from him (I'll see if I can find it...) that basically said he supported the Second Amendment but did not think regualr citizens needed "assault weapons"

Found it....
