NRA to Keep Firing at Obama in Battleground States

Jake, you ought to tell the whole story:
Two days after the break-in, the Cook County state’s attorney’s office released a statement declaring DeMar’s actions self-defense. But Illinois requires gun owners to keep a firearm owners’ identification card, and DeMar’s had expired in 2000. On January 8, 2004, he was charged with that violation, which carries a maximum penalty of a $2,500 fine and a year in jail. Prosecutors dropped the charges about a month later, saying they did not want to “revictimize” DeMar for a “lapse.”

Its funny that the NRA is against Obama but yet at the same time the AHSA is FOR Obama….
Schoenke said his AHSA is an alternative to the NRA for “gun rights, respect of the rights, that every law-abiding citizen can own a gun, but with those rights come civic responsibilities, and a huge commitment to land and conservation of our natural resources.”
The NRA is totally lacking on policy for land conservation, he said.
“The NRA, in order to win this battle, in order to get McCain (elected), they want to scare, frighten gun owners into believing Obama is going to take away your guns,” he said. “That dog doesn’t hunt.”
While the McCain campaign points out Obama’s record “with a microscope,” Schoenke said the same could be true about McCain. He cited the NRA’s listing of McCain as “Enemy No. 1″ in 2001 for his support of background checks at gun shows.
“McCain and the NRA were at each other’s throats,” he said. “When the McCain-Feingold (campaign finance reform) bill came out, they were adamantly against him.”
The NRA, meanwhile, likes to label the AHSA as “the enemy in camouflage.”
“But what the hell are they? Unless you’re a conservative right winger, you cannot own a gun?” Schoenke asks. “Of course, Democrats own guns. Moderates own guns.”
Schoenke said AHSA “doesn’t believe in unfettered, unimpeded, unregulated access to guns. We believe that only law-abiding citizens should have the right to own a gun, and with that right goes civic responsibility, which means we don’t want terrorists and criminals and people who harm themselves get guns. We want to do everything we can to make sure that doesn’t happen.”
The group also has a “huge commitment to conservation, which really separates us from the NRA, as the NRA is horrible when it comes to conservation issues,” he said. “They’re a one-issue organization. They’re all gun rights.”
The NRA claims to represent all 80 million gun owners in the U.S., but Schoenke said there is a wide gap between gun-banners and the NRA’s wide open stance, and that gun owners wanted an alternative to the NRA.
“The gun rights issue is behind us and conservation is important,” he said. “Obama is ahead of McCain, and I think he’s clearly ahead when it comes to the economy. That’s why I strongly urge hunters and shooters throughout Minnesota to look to Obama and support him.”

Please change the title of this entry – the idea of someone “firing at Obama” is an all too literal possibility with all of the racist hatred that is emerging in this campaign. Seeing it sent shivers down my spine.

What kind of a sick and twisted world does Obama live in to think that if I defend myself and my family that I am the criminal.
The more I find out about Obama, the more I really dislike him and realize just how wrong for America he is.

People need to wake up. Obama is not talking about taking Joe the Plumbers money and giving it to people without jobs. That is ridiculous and untrue. He is talking about Mega rich people who are raking in obscene profits while paying their workers minimum wage. If they complain too loud about the low wages, they look for workers in India or China to do the work so they can make even higher profit.
Think about the Walmart hiers making billions a year while their workers can’t pay rent. Think about mortgage and finance CEO’s with paychecks of 487 million over three years while they rape homeowners. Think about Oil execs making 500 billion a year in profit while they bleed America dry.
Wake up people. These mega rich 1-5% don’t let ANYTHING trickle down. They rape the American worker for everything they can and they DON’T PAY TAXES! They write off losses, find every loophole and then have folks like McCain subsidize them. AND YES … paying taxes is patriotic!! It is how we fund America. The problem is that the middle class carries the burden while the mega-rich carry off the rewards.

Google YPM (Young Political Majors) and National Rifle Association to learn more about which Republicans support voter registration fraud. Keep what you read in mind when you see the NRA’s nasty untrue attack ads against Obama, too.
Obama/Biden 08!

God Bless the NRA!!

When the Heller case went to the Supreme court Obama had a chance to sign a Congressional Amicus Breif that just stated the signor believed that the Second Amendment is an “individual right of the citizen”to keep and bear arms.OBAMA REFUSED TO SIGN THE BREIF!!!McCAIN SIGNED IT !! That is all you need to know.The rest it just B.S.Jion the NRA or lose you freedom.1-877-NRA-2000.

“…just because you have an individual right does not mean that the state or local government can’t constrain the exercise of that right…”
Barack Obama, 2008
Philadelphia primary Debate.
Obama also served on the board of the Joyce Foundation, probably the largest private funder of anti-gun and pro-ban groups and research in the country. In total, the foundation gave $18.6 million to approximately 80 anti-gun efforts while he was on the board. For example, $1.5 million went to the Violence Policy Center, which puts out such claims as “Why America Needs to Ban Handguns.” During Obama’s time with the foundation, not a single donation was made to any group that supported individuals’ rights to own guns.

The AHSA is a rights organization? They want more firearms regulation, not less. Firearms are the most regulated item in industry. Ever notice that you never hear anything about or from the AHSA, until a few months before an election?
Obama lies about his support for the Second Amendment. Don’t believe me? Look up his Illinois Senate voting record.

Anyone thinking Obama will protect your 2nd Amendment as an individual right to possess a firearm is misinformed of his voting record and has not bothered to recognize that his endorsements by the American Hunters and Shooting Assn. are endorsements by an organization with a hidden agenda. Their membership is a small group (100 -150)comprised of a who’s who of anti everything. They changed the name of the organization to fool the hunter. Now throw in the endorsement by the Baley Campaign. That should pretty much cinch Obama’s position on gun rights.
The NRA has 4-5 million members and was formed in the 18th century and they are not to be trusted? The NRA should have selected a presidential nominee if they have politicians that can fool that many people for that period of time.
What is most bothersome is Obama’s ad’s claiming to protect your 2nd amendment. He is flat out lieing to us. A lieing politician is nothing new. But don’t we generally find that out after they are elected? There are those that would vote for him knowing this character flaw? Unbelieveable.
The NRA didn’t hold his arm behind his back to get him to vote against every pro gun legislation that came across his desk. The NRA didn’t strong arm him to vote “yes” on every piece of anti gun law that came his way. Obama did that all by himself.
And now he wants your vote using a disguised hunting organization named only to fool you? I was born at night but not last night.

ObamACORN will take away my right to defend myself and my family?
Crazy Joe talks about electing ObamACORN being a test?
These guys are clowns not serious candidates for office.

What a bunch of Bull. This was a Obama union organized act!
Your wrote: Well, this sure worked well for them in West Virginia, where the mines got shut down for a day when workers protested the NRA/McCain smears they were attempting to distribute.
Bring it on!

Sorry folks – Republicans threaten liberty far more that the Dems do. I don’t care if you vote Democratic, but the Republican party has proven time and time again that they are authoritarian and have no respect for your rights.
I have firearms. If you have concerns about Obama, buy a firearm now. Issue solved.
No one is “coming to take your guns”. They might keep you from buying new ones, but that’s not a top priority if you have your firearms already.
The current Republican party suspends habeas corpus, and you don’t seem to care. They expand executive power far beyond constitutional bounds, and not a peep. They pass out your tax dollars by the fistfull to oil and military contractors, and you remain silent. They made a mockery of the constitution and the American principals of liberty and justice – yet you do nothing.
One Democrat *MIGHT* increase gun legislation and you cry like it’s the end of the American dream.
Wake up. You are buying into a line of crap from the anti-liberty champions.
As for the NRA – I’m a member, but only because my range requires it.

“It never ceases to amaze me how the gun lobby can convince millions of Americans to base their entire political philosophy on one particular interpretation of the Second Amendment, often at the expense of many other constitutional rights.”
They have learned well from the abortion industry.

When the government outlaws guns only the government will have guns.
Germany 1938.

One more thing. Republicans didn’t suspend habeas corpus, the liberal supreme court justices (appointed by democrats) did. Look it up. I suggest you turn off MSNBC.

Obama and Biden both have proven records of radical gun control support. Both of them have worked every opportunity to erode and or eliminate the Second Amendment.
Obama, on his own campaign website, advocates repealing the Tiahrt Amendment and making the Clinton “Assault Weapons” Ban permanent. Obama has voted down home self defense at every opportunity and voted for more bureaucratic roadblocks to firearm ownership, which are always used as a backdoor way to deny someone’s Second Amendment rights. What is the difference between requiring a gun license and requiring someone to pass a literacy test and/or pay a poll tax to vote? None.
The Tiahrt Amendment was designed so local politicians couldn’t use gun purchase trace data to track down gun owners for gun confiscation schemes (ex. New Orleans, post Katrina). The data could only be used for valid Federal law enforcement actions.
The “Assault Weapons” Ban was merely a way to get people used to gun bans and was completely ineffective at controlling crime, per ATF statistics. Additionally, it just banned much less powerful, look-alike training and target shooting weapons. Actual Military Assault Weapons are already banned under NFA rules barring machine guns and have been banned since 1934.
I live in an urban area. I can tell you that there’s a lot of confusion around guns and gun laws. The politicians are taking full advantage of the opportunity to pander to the confused or ignorant. The guns that are showing up in urban areas are illegal guns under the current laws.
I live across the border from Mexico, where guns are supposedly “illegal”. I can tell you that the weapons they are using are not what you can buy at your local gun store here. I’m also impressed with the way their gun control laws *don’t* work. All they’ve done is ban weapons from the average law abiding Mexican citizens. If you’re a Mexican criminal, you can have all the guns you want, as long as you’ve paid the right politicians.
I’d love to be able to vote beyond the Second Amendment, but with what’s going on across the border from me and how completely gun control has failed there, I can’t afford to let my family go unprotected.
John F. Kennedy was a life member of the NRA. What happened to Democrats that protected *all* of our rights?
You can’t uninvent the firearm and you don’t need to be a rocket scientist to build one. It’s naive to think that “more laws” is going to solve a problem dealing with people who don’t care what the laws say, anyway.

Threat to human rights and liberty – that would be the Republican party.
Who want’s to legislate sexual morality? Republicans.
Who bans legitimate speech under arcane “obscenity laws” and FCC thugs? Republicans.
Who supports holding and torturing anyone they call and “enemy”? Republicans.
Republicans hate freedom.
I’m a vet – and own guns.
Dems fear personal property. That I can fight. The insanity and hypocrisy of the current Republican party makes them utterly unsupportable by any real patriot.

The anti NRA remarks in here are obviously DNC and Barack husien Obamas campaigne.
They have thier lies and talking point down.Remember these are the people who are with Acorn.
If obama gets control of the gov,and acsess to all its power,with U.N. and foriegn aid you aint seen nothing yet.
you better bury your guns and barricade your property becauese nothing nor any body will be safe!!!!!!
