Well, Rob McKenna may be running away from questions on gun control, but not fellow Republican Reagan Dunn. Speaking November 8, 2011 before the Lewis County Republican Party, Dunn was asked for his stand on guns, to which he replied:

"I like guns. I like them a lot," Dunn quickly responded. "I guarantee you I am the only statewide candidate who has purchased an AR-15 this year." Listen to the audio for yourself.

An AR-15, huh? The same weapon suspected mass murderer James Holmes used in a Colorado theater last week. Wow. That's quite a boast.
