Frist no friend of gun owners
Candidate for Senate leader has history of anti-firearms support
More questions have arisen about the GOP senator most likely to replace Mississippi Republican Trent Lott as majority leader, this time from gun-rights groups who say he is no friend of the Second Amendment. According to an analysis posted on firearms rights website KeepandBearArms.com Frist has a poor record of standing up for gun rights. And Gun Owners of America, a 300,000-member group based in Springfield, Va., has given Frist the grade of "D" in regards to his record of votes regarding gun rights despite his being a top recipient of donations from the National Rifle Association.
