Turns out that Shreve's chief political strategist Mark Lubbers was also Richard Lugar's campaign manager for his failed run for president in 1996. Lugar like Shreve "took on the NRA" and was proud of his vote to repeal "Assault Weapons" in 1994. Lubbers is quoted as saying that the "Assault Weapons" ban he made for Lugar was one of the most memorable ads he's made. Guy has an "Aha" moment when he sees the connection between the campaigns.
