Kerry, John

It is likely that gun control will be an issue in the 2004 presidential race between Democrat John Kerry and incumbent George W. Bush, but it is unlikely to be a major issue like the economy, Iraq, or the war on terrorism. This does not mean it will not be an important issue, however—in the expected close election, any issue able to motivate even a relatively small number of voters could be decisive. (Indeed, Kerry attacked Bush in September 2004 for allowing the assault weapons ban to lapse without making any real effort on its behalf.) Although not as much so as abortion or same-sex marriage, gun control is a cultural issue. The effects of such issues on political outcomes are always hard to predict. 

September 13 The federal assault weapons ban expires. In the presidential campaign. Democrat John Kerry charges that President George W. Bush had bowed to NRA pressure in declining to make any effort to renew the law. 

April 14 A report of a congressional subcommittee chaired by Senator John Kerry (D-Mass) concludes that the U.S. antidrug effort had been compromised by the Reagan administration s ignoring evidence of drug trafficking by its Nicaraguan contra allies.

Sowden s family life was characteristically dynamic. His wife, Pat, was an ardent participant in both community and university activities and, when the demands of her family permitted, loved to travel with her husband. The three Sowden children, John Warren, Shawn Susan, and Steven Kerry, reflect the outgoing as well as the reserved nature of their father. They share his love of the outdoors, and show the variable effects of being raised and loved by strongly individualistic parents.
