Kasich was a yea vote on the now sun setted 1994 assault rifle ban. Indeed, he helped write it.

My theory that LaPierre and the NRA is merely a branch of the republican party was cemented when they endorsed Kasich four years ago over the former democratic governor, Ted Strickland. Strickland was also a congressman back in the day and opposed the ban. He has an A rating from the Gun Owners Association and the Buckeye Gun Owners Assn. The NRA is currently the only gun lobby that supports Kasich,

If John Kasich was faking anything, it's that he was opposed to gun control to maintain NRA support. Now that he's term limited and on his way out this fall, I think he no longer gives a shit (unless he thinks he'll need them in 2020).

I fully expect John Kasich to push for a new ban.
