Tom Coburn on Gun Control

Jr Senator; previously Republican Representative (OK-2)

Both Carson and Coburn have 100% NRA records

CARSON: I'm A-rated by the NRA. I've been endorsed in all my campaigns, but there are television ads, mail pieces, that say I'm going to take away their guns.

COBURN: You were endorsed in the primary. They have not endorsed either of us because we both have 100% records.
