The four remaining GOP candidates are spending millions of dollars tearing each other apart for the chance to take on President Obama in November.

But while all eyes are on the Republican presidential primary, Gun Owners of America (GOA) also has to prepare for something that American gun owners don’t even want to think about; the possibility of a second Obama term.

Think about it. A second term for Obama means he will be unencumbered with thoughts about reelection.

Newt and Ron Paul have the best records on guns of the remaining candidates.

Every gun thread should include this statement from Governor Romney.

“These guns are not made for recreation or self-defense. They are instruments of destruction with the sole purpose of hunting down and killing people.”
