ABC gave a bum html link. It crashed my computer twice. This will open in a new window.
Good one from the NRA, and the truth!
Obama just wants to ban private sales of firearms, and prevent them being entrusted to heirs. There is no 2nd Amendment anymore if that occurs.
The NRA, and Wayne, are doing good this week. Nice to see.
Thanks, good letter by the NRA.
Guns are like government. They both can cause great harm in the wrong hands.
Those who argue that the despite the Constitution evil guns should not be in the hands of ordinary citizens, can be expected to soon argue the same about government.
Obama sucks. Thanks neverdem.

When is Zero going to push for these kinds of background checks for voting? I see no reason that a 4473 style application and NICS background check shouldn’t be done for voting.
It would eliminate voters voting more than once, it would keep anyone ineligible from voting, and it would put a stop to most types of vote fraud out there.
It’s a common sense approach to a very dangerous problem that undermines the Constitution and the Rights of the people to be secure in their choices to vote. Only someone who would want voter fraud would be against such a background check when someone wants to vote. A few minutes of inconvenience is worth the security that we’ll have knowing our voting system is protected.
After all, if it’s good enough for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, it’s good enough for the Right to Vote... Right?
Then again, perhaps not.

Obama isn’t interested in taking violent criminals off the streets - they are a core part of his constituency.
It's because the reasons liberal elites give for wanting gun control are lies. The NRA is responding to liberal elites as if they were telling the truth. They aren't. It's why the NRA's message isn't working. Liberal elites wouldn't let that message work if God handed it to them on gold tablets.
what 'law enforcement' does that allow beyond keeping predators and nutjobs locked up until they are simply no longer predators or nuts ???
"contact every U.S. Attorney and ask them to bring at least 10 cases per month against drug dealers, gang members and other violent felons caught illegally possessing firearms. By prosecuting these criminals in federal court – rather than state court – strong sentencing guidelines would apply and charges would not be plea-bargained or dismissed, nor would criminals be released after serving only a fraction of their sentences. This simple directive would result in roughly 12,000 violent criminals being taken off the streets every year";
Oh-oh! LaPierre stepped in 'it', big time.
He's telling Eric Holder to put "His People" (Holder is Amish ya know) in Federal Prison.
That's downright racist! (/s)
'Series' this has been a major problem in Chicago and Crook County for over a decade. On (unofficial) orders from 'King' Richie Daley the Crook County States Attorney has refused to turn over to the Feds ANY of these reprobate maggots for prosecution in Federal Court. And why would Daley and the Crook County States Attorney do that? Because these reprobate maggots have relatives that vote. Yep, it's that simple -- VOTES!
And as a result of that SICK thinking, a few months ago TWO Chicago LEOS were executed in broad daylight by a maggot (Amish) who was out on Bail for ----- Attempted Murder and to boot, out on Parole for Burglary. Yeah, you're right, he never should have been out on the streets due to his Parole Violation.
One LEO was a veteran Chicago Cop taking fingerprints of a garage break-in and car burglary. The other LEO was an ex-CHA Policeman who was the Home and Car owner. Both were armed but never had a chance to even go for their weapons. Both were shot in the back of the head.
It's 'Gun Violence' like this that falls directly back on the shoulders of Daley, the Democratic Party, and their policy of coddling and pandering to DANGEROUS FELONS and minorities for ... VOTES! And in every 'urban area' in the USA this scenario plays out every day. Democrat mayors and their Party hand picking Democrat 'judges' (and parole board members) whose only concern is ... VOTES!
So 20,000 more 'common sense gun control' laws would NOT have prevented this assassination of two good people. BUT! 20,000 new 'politicians' who care about VIOLENT CRIMINAL CONTROL might have. Then again, the current Democrat Pols who run these urban cesspools could enforce the laws already on the books. No matter 'whose people' they may turn out to be.
But that policy might be a little too radical. Relatives would get mad and not vote for them again.
