Work hard to defeat Obama!
Speaking of the 2nd amendment, can we work on getting that amendment enforced?
Now that the Supreme Court has ruled that the 2nd amendment means exactly what the words say (you can’t take that for granted with those who like a living breathing constitution), aren’t virtually all gun control laws now legally suspect?
Even if the elites think that bitter people cling to a gun, isn’t it clearly their right to hold on to their gun?
Before he was a Senator, Obama was a director of The Joyce Foundation from ‘98-’01, which funds anti-2nd amendment groups.

“Speaking of the 2nd amendment, can we work on getting that amendment enforced?”
I know what you mean. In my state you have to jump hoops, the last I heard. For instance, you have to pretend your gun is for target practice, even if it’s for self defense.

Thanx. I’ll check out the link.
Do you have a link that states Obama was the director? I want to use this as “ammunition.” No pun intended.
This issue hurt Kerry badly as I recall in 2004.
“Annie Oakley Palin need to start bringing this issue up in speeches as it is a loser for Obama.
This issue hurt Kerry badly as I recall in 2004.”
That’s right! I’m going to have to include it in my letter to the editor, and call a talk show(s).
From your keyboard to the McCain/Palin campaign, there are folks lining up to buy firearms at the mere thought of a Obamao victory.
Saw McCain on VS’s the other night, but Gov Palin could do more..
Google search on “joyce foundation obama”:
Thanks.
Heh. I’ve been to the local firearms emporium twice in the last few months. I got a converted Saiga rifle, 7.62X39,(AK-47), which we know Obambi hates, and is sure to be banned if he wins , and another 22(Henry Suvival Rifle).
Still time to stock up on Roosky ammo before the election.
Well, I don’t think it is time to turtle just yet, but that thought is spreading, Obamao and Biden are poison for the RTKBA...
70 million plus firearms owners..a heck of a voting block.
Like you, I bought one because I am afraid that if the Messiah is elected he will try to ban them. That and I want to be ready for the riots when the anointed one loses. I figure with two 12-ga. pump shotguns, a 9mm handgun, an AK and plenty of ammo I should be alright.
BTW - I have been to two gun shows in the last three weeks and business was brisk! God Bless America and the 2nd amendment!
