We’ve done such a great job of keeping drugs and illegals out of this country, it’s obvious to me a gun ban will work just as well.

In fact, I knew Obama during the mid-1990s, and his answers to IVIs question on guns fit well with the Obama that I knew. Indeed, the first time I introduced myself to him he said Oh, you are the gun guy. I responded Yes, I guess so. He simply responded that I dont believe that people should be able to own guns.
The NRA has got to use this in their ads, pronto!

With about 600,000 people with permits to carry concealed handguns, Pennsylvania also has more permit holders than any other state.Hold on thar. Pennsylvania has more holders of ccw permits than both Texas AND Florida? Not buying this one.

We live in Pike County - - extreme Northeast of PA. We are being bombarded with ads showing an alleged NRA member saying he is for Obama and that Obama won’t take away our guns. The ads are playing on CNBC and USA and several other networks running on Blue Ridge Cable TV (affiliated with Penteledata). I have written to the NRA about this.

Obama's "General Candidate Questionnaire" (.pdf), dated September 10, 1996, and completed during his first run for the Illinois State Senate makes for some interesting reading.
Among his responses are the following:
Do you support state legislation to
ban the manufacture, sale and possession of handguns?
Yes.
Do you support state legislation to
ban assault weapons?
Yes.
Do you support state legislation to mandatory
waiting periods and background checks?
Yes.

But you aren’t a member since I don’t see the initials in your tagline.
If you aren’t a member, why do you expect the NRA to do what you want?

Just because I don’t say it in my tagline doesn’t mean I’m not one.

We are being bombarded with ads showing an alleged NRA member saying he is for Obama and that Obama wont take away our guns.Are you sure the guy claims to be an NRA member? I think it might be Ray Schoenke of the American Hunters and Shooters Association. They are a front for the Brady Bunch.

Exact content may be new, but the core information has been known & widely reported for a long time: BHO wants a ban, said he wants a ban, and of late has played word games to pretend he holds the “reasonable restrictions” view - which in his code words IS a ban, just with delayed rollout in some jurisdictions.

Oh, believe it!! The only thing you have to do to get a CCW permit is to have 3 people vouch for your character on the form and $25 paid to process the form and get the license and wallah, you are a concealed carry permit holder. They make it easy for you to get a permit here. We also are first or second in NRA membership.
I'm a member of the Marine Corps League and Pennsylvania is the only state (that I'm aware of) where the Marine Corps League holds a yearly pistol and rifle competition. It's at Indiantown Gap and a lot of fun. There are teams from all over the country that come and compete.
