From click2houston.com I understand that John Bolton is resigning as our U.N. Embassador because he was unable to secure Senate confirmation.
Question 1: Was his lack of confirmation related to his strong stance on gun rights?
Question 2: If so, are we at risk of a Democratic Senate pusing to get an anti-gun embassador? That's all the UN would need to totally run amok.
Thoughts?

Not that I know of. I think he just scared the heck out of the whinning, sniveling pacifists on the left side of the isle. I am very disappointed that he wasn’t confirmed.GlockenHammer wrote: Question 1: Was his lack of confirmation related to his strong stance on gun rights?

also, according to the Drudge Report, George Mitchell is the short list as a replacement nominee.
I may have to start listening more to you Libertarians out there.
Why in the world would a democrat be on Bush's short list for UN Ambassador? 
He will be anit-gun and was the senate majority leader when the brady bill was passed (i believe this is correct).
