Illinois State Rifle Association Executive Director Richard Pearson Issues Open Letter to Nation's Sportsmen Regarding Obama's TRUE History in the Illinois Senate
We've repeatedly warned readers not to believe Barack Obama when he claims to support our Second Amendment rights. We have told you the truth--that Barack Obama is the most anti-gun presidential candidate in American history! Hands down. No question. Barack Obama opposes the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding, freedom-loving, American firearm owners.
We've given the facts, and provided the documentation. But if you know someone who's still not convinced, you'll want to share with them a recent, open letter to our nation's gun owners, hunters, and sportsmen, written by Illinois State Rifle Association (ISRA) Executive Director Richard Pearson. Pearson's credentials include deep involvement in the firearm rights movement for more than 40 years. He's been the chief lobbyist for the ISRA for the past 15 years. And, most importantly, because of his personal experience, he knows Barack Obama's true stance on the Second Amendment.
In his letter, Mr. Pearson says, "I lobbied Barack Obama extensively while he was an Illinois State Senator. As a result of that experience, I know Obama's attitudes toward guns and gun owners better than anyone. The truth be told, in all my years in the Capitol I have never met a legislator who harbors more contempt for the law-abiding firearm owner than does Barack Obama."
Mr. Pearson goes on to describe just some of Obama's anti-gun voting record, saying, "While a state senator, Obama voted for a bill that would ban nearly every hunting rifle, shotgun and target rifle owned by Illinois citizens. That same bill would authorize the state police to raid homes of gun owners to forcibly confiscate banned guns." Obama also voted FOUR TIMES against legislation that would protect a homeowner who use a firearm in defense of home and family!
It doesn't get much plainer than that, folks. This letter is a must-read for every pro-freedom, pro-self-defense, pro-Second Amendment American.

Ping!
I find it strange that the letter is directed only to sportsmen. IMO, it is relevant to everyone concerned about his safety and the safety of his family, friends, and fellow citizens.
The NRA should put this guy in an ad or two.
"The Obama I know sees you, the law abiding gun owner, as nothing but a low-class lummox who is easily swayed by the flash of a smile and a ration of rosy rhetoric."
Good line from the article.
.
Is this for real??????
Oh my gosh!
This needs to get to Fox News....people will go NUTS if they hear this....FORGET ECONOMIC SOCIALISM....this is a demonstration of a man who would HAVE GOONS ENTER OUR HOMES AND TAKE OUR GUNS!!
Listen,
So many people including a whole lot of conservatives simply don’t understand a Marxist take over when they see one. This is all part and parcel of an Obama - Ayers administration.
In addition to changing out the top military leadership with their Operatives, disarming us will be a top priority on their agenda.
Right now they know that nothing else matters unless they first take power, so they are focusing on simply doing that first.
This has been a decades long Operation by the Left now coming to fruition. We are seeing it in our lifetime.
Truly alarming.
I could use this big-time if someone can take the time to post real evidence that he did this.

Absolutely right! Most don't understand the lies that underpin Communism and they are horrified when Little Red Riding Hood turns into the wolf. They are near succeeding with massive voter fraud.
Many cavalierly think we can just vote them out in the next election if we don't like what they do. Tell the Russians, Cambodians, Vietnamese, North Koreans, Venezuelans, Cubans, Zimbabweans, etc. about that. They don't seem to be able to get it done and we won't either.
Conservativism has its share of dumbed down naive folks. Goody two shoes and too trusting. Never trust a Marxist - ever! There are a lot of conservatives who just don’t want to admit to themselves that this is actually happening. State of denial.
A Marxist operates on a theory of envy and perpetually scheming on how to take from you. No different than the mentality of a thief.
I just thought of something - could it be possible for Obama IF he gets elected to get rid of Biden and put Ayers in in his place? Could he do that???
American Hunters and Shooters Association(AHSA)”
talking about what a swell fellow Obama is and how he honors the 2nd
Amendment and how you will never have to worry about Obama coming to take
your guns. Let me make it perfectly clear - everything the AHSA says about
Obama is pure hogwash. The AHSA is headed by a group of left-wing elitists
who subscribe to the British view of hunting and shooting. That is, a state
of affairs where hunting and shooting are reserved for the wealthy
upper-crust who can afford guided hunts on exclusive private reserves. The
AHSA is not your friend, never will be.

EVERYONE NEEDS TO READ THIS!
BTT!
Agreed - the other side of the coin from Stalin's Useful Idiots, those who took the Communists lies as truth. Both are sheep being led to slaughter.
It would be difficult to control the citizens if they were armed. Obama wants us all defenseless. He is and always has been a communist through and through.
It looks as if the 2nd Amend. is not of any importance to FReepers anymore. What a differance 10 years makes?
This is an issue that has been sorely neglected this election in the debates and on the trail. The NRA is running ads in swing states fortunately.
If you don't believe the lobbiest from the Illinois Rifle and Pistol association, how about John Lott in the following reference:
