eCountryLifestyle ^ | March 03, 2009 | National Shooting Sports Foundation

Posted on 03/03/2009 11:48:35 AM PST by Wpin

In response to Attorney General Eric Holder's comments about reinstating the ban on so-called "assault weapons," the National Shooting Sports Foundation issued a press release reminding Congress and all Americans that such a ban would result in a loss of jobs, have no effect on reducing crime and would deprive millions of law-abiding sportsmen and gun owners of their Constitutional right to own the firearm of their choice...

Everyone knows of the NRA and it's unflinching stance for our second amendment rights. The National Shooting Sports Foundation is another hero of the second amendment. They will not sit out this attack on our rights!

If I can find one, I’ll buy it now. And then hope Hussein tells me I have to turn it in.

NRA member here. Haven’t heard of the other group, but glad they are out there.

I like target shooting. Not a fan of sport hunting. I am an animal lover, and believe they should only be hunted to be eaten.

For me, guns are best used on two-legged vermin.

I'm a fan of sport hunting, meat hunting, and varmint control.

But none of those are what the 2A is all about.

That would be, of course, the two-legged vermin you cite.

1/2 dems foaming at the mouth to get this legislation passed.

1/2 dems fearful of backlash.

If it weren’t so dangerous to our republic, it would be entertaining.

And Michael Steele is supporting Obama’s ban. Time for a new chairman.

I have three guns and I already told my family when they come to collect the guns I have no intention on giving them up. Once firearms are given up you may as well kiss every other freedom good bye....I have NO intention of losing my freedom!

BTW, I know why Zero wants to collect guns...it’s the last industry making money!!

Let’s see...

Fairness Doctrine (1st Amend) - check
Assault weapons ban (2nd Amend) - check
State stimulus money with federal “RULES” (10th Amend) - check

Seven more to go. Fast little bugger, isn’t he?

Six freaking weeks and this man is about half done dismantling what we hold dear in this country: freedom, prosperity, individualism, choice— brick by brick.

How did anyone buy into his lies that he would be a moderate bi-partisan? He is as divisive as I can possibly imagine.

You might be surprised at how many avid hunters feel the same way. That's how I was brought up, as well as all my hunting friends. We hunt every year, rarely come home empty handed, and there isn't a single trophy on any of our walls, and our freezers are well stocked.

I wouldn't mind taking part in a wolf hunt, but at the same time I won't because don't eat wolf.

Power and Control Freaks throughout history have been “Gun Control” lovers....

Stalin, Hitler and most of our recent Democrat Presidents and Democrat presidential candidates...have been members of the "gun control" crowd.....

They clearly FEAR the 2nd amendment, because in their deepest heart they KNOW our founders had forecast the possibility that one day we may have to shoot some “political” bastards in defense of the Constitution and Republic..

Our founders RECOGNIZED that enemies of the Republic can be both FOREIGN and DOMESTIC...

The 2nd amendment was NEVER meant to provide guns to shoot Bambi or Donald Duck.......it was meant to place weapons in the hands of people who one day may have to shoot their own Stalin or Hitler..... Evidence accumulate daily - they were wise to do so.

“Never Forget, even for an instant, that the one and only reason anybody has for taking your gun away is to make you weaker than he is, so he can do something to you that you wouldn’t allow him to do if you were equipped to prevent it. This goes for burglars, muggers, and rapists, and even more so for policemen, bureaucrats, and politicians.”

-Alexander Hope, from the novel “Hope” by L. Neil Smith and Aaron Zelman

Great! This should encourage even MORE "assault" rifles and ammunition to fly off the shelves for the coming conflict.

If he's not tanking the economy, he's forewarning his opposition.

Thank you, Obama!

Animal lover, meat hunter, varmint shooter. I don’t have an assault rifle, but I might get a couple now to stave off the coming two-legged varmint infestation.
