NRA targets Obama

September 10, 2008 08:06 PM

The National Rifle Association said today it will send a mailer to 4 million members warning that Barack Obama "would be the most anti-gun president in American history."

The mailer also tells members "Don't believe" Obama on the Second Amendment.

"NRA will not allow Barack Obama to revise history," Chris W. Cox, NRA's chief lobbyist, said in a statement. "He has supported bans on handguns and semi-automatic firearms, and he has voted to ban possession of many shotguns and rifles commonly used by hunters and sportsmen across America. And we will remind voters every single time he lies."

When the Supreme Court issued a landmark ruling in June upholding an individual right to bear arms and throwing out a handgun ordinance in Washington, D.C., Obama sought a middle ground. "I have always believed that the Second Amendment protects the right of individuals to bear arms, but I also identify with the need for crime-ravaged communities to save their children from the violence that plagues our streets through commonsense, effective safety measures," he said.

When it comes to a gun, you must fight gunfire with gunfire. The only commonsense, effective safety measure is the ability and the weaponry to shoot back.
