Lee Terry's do-nothing-except-roll-over-for-the-NRA positions on gun control are becoming conspicuously disturbing as more Americans (especially in urban districts like his) become fed up with gun-nut enabled carnage via assault weapons with 100-round magazines. Part of the way that Terry deals with this is simply to hide his voting record on his taxpayer-funded house web site.
     On the "Issues & Legislation" tab of that site, Nebraska's second district congressman studiously ignores (as of this writing) the issue of gun control, in favor of his "stances" on Abortion, Debt/Balanced Budget, Economy, Education, Energy, Gas Prices, Healthcare, Immigration, Jobs, Telecommunications.
     Though he attempts to conceal them through omission, here are Lee Terry's votes on significant issues regarding gun control:
