Anne on Guns -- Has Anne Flip Flopped?
Anne's website The Yarmuth Record also makes an issue out of Yarmuth's obvious distaste for guns, the NRA, and the Second Amendment.
Anne's own record suggests that maybe she was once in Yarmuth's Corner.
Look at these stats from vote-smart.org.
2005 Representative Northup supported the interests of the Gun Owners of America 50 percent in 2005.
2004 Based on lifetime voting records on gun issues and the results of a questionnaire sent to all Congressional candidates in 2004, the National Rifle Association assigned Representative Northup a grade of A (with grades ranging from a high of A+ to a low of F).
2003-2004 Representative Northup supported the interests of the Gun Owners of America 40 percent in 2003-2004.
2003 Representative Northup supported the interests of the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence 0 percent in 2003.
2003 Representative Northup supported the interests of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence 33 percent from 1988-2003 (Senate) or 1991-2003 (House).
2003 Representative Northup supported the interests of the Gun Owners of America 40 percent in 2003.
2002 On the votes that the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence considered to be the most important as of 2002, Representative Northup voted their preferred position 37 percent of the time. These scores are cumulative for each representative's time in their current office. The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence considered votes from 1988-2002 in the House and 1991-2002 in the Senate when determining these scores.
2002 Based on lifetime voting records on gun issues and the results of a questionnaire sent to all Congressional candidates in 2002, the National Rifle Association assigned Representative Northup a grade of B (with grades ranging from a high of A+ to a low of F).

1999-2000 Based on the results of a questionnaire the Gun Owners of America assigned Representative Northup a grade of D- (with grades ranging from a high of A+ to a low of F-).
It looks like it took awhile for Anne to come around to the party line on the issue of guns. But eventually she went from a D- to an A, and reduced her support for organizations who are anti gun. Anne notably switched sides on the issue when she voted for repealing gun limits in Washington D.C. in 2004 after voting to keep the limits in 1999.
