Kennedy was no friend of the Second Amendment. He was always a solid F-minus with the NRA. Forget all the platitudes and adoration from the far left politicos and media morons - consider some other, realistic points of view from those not as enamored of the late ultra-liberal:

“There is a lot one could say of Senator Kennedy — positive from supporters, negative from critics. They say one should not speak ill of the dead. True. But I am of the view that one should not lie about the dead either.” –political analyst Bill Bennett

“[Ted] Kennedy left the scene of a fatal accident for which he was at least partly responsible. Then he used his extraordinary power to get off, spending the rest of his career in pseudo-remorse, playing the most liberal of Senators. It was always an act to me, even when I agreed with him politically. This was not a life well lived.” –author and screenwriter Roger L. Simon

Hat tip Patriot Post for the quotes.

Oh yeah - and then there was the McCain-Kennedy Amnesty Act to legalize millions of criminal aliens . . .
