The National Rifle Association cast its opposition to Obama’s plans as “the fight of the century” in a letter circulated at the 35th annual Shooting, Hunting, Outdoor Trade Show and Conference, known in the trade as “the SHOT show,” in Las Vegas.
“I warned you this day was coming and now it’s here,” Wayne LaPierre, the NRA’s fiery executive vice president, wrote in a fund-raising letter to the group’s 4 million members. “It’s not about protecting your children. It’s not about stopping crime. It’s about banning your guns … PERIOD!”
The letter reflected the NRA’s tough, no-holds-barred campaign against tighter restrictions on weapons and echoed a sharp video released by the group that calls Obama an “elitist hypocrite” for having the Secret Service protect his two daughters at school while saying that he is “skeptical” about armed guards in all schools.
The SHOT show draws more than 60,000 gun enthusiasts, dealers and manufacturers to see the latest weapons and accoutrements. The convention floor contains 12 miles of firearms displays, mostly military-style assault rifles, and many booths display the kinds of high-capacity clips the administration wants to ban.
On Wednesday, the brass from the NRA and other gun-advocacy groups spent the day in closed-door sessions planning a response to Obama’s proposals, according to people close to the groups who spoke on condition their names not be used in describing internal deliberations...

“...Praise Obama and his wisdom!...”
He really is...just...just...the GINCHIEST, ain’t he?
Damn...I got a tingle up my spine just now...
Hey...wait a minute...did Granpaw get that thing through the evil “Mail Order Loophole”?
Or was it...wait for it....yer gonna kill me....
“GRANDFATHERED” in?
I added my name.
Best I can figure it was ‘GREAT-granfathered in” ;)
Octagon into round barrel, lever action cowboy gun....and Ammo about 100 bucks a box...when you can find some boutique place to make it.
Used to sit on the mantle...and then one day I was out in the desert and a bunch of robed and bearded men took it from me. They threatened to behead my family if I ever went to the police and reported the theft.
Naturally after 9/11 and knowing it’s rraaaacistttt! to cast accusations on these holy men, I remained silent all these years, mourning it’s loss...
LOVE old lever guns...
Had an old Marlin 1895G in .45-70 years ago. Shortened barrel, nasty little piece of hardware. Guy I bought it from hunted bear with it (it was a “Bear Hunting Gun” after all).
It let you know you were alive when you threw it up to your shoulder and touched one off, man...I became “the human recoil pad”. My buddies and I would shoot a box or two, and then stand around laughing and whining like Frenchmen for an hour with big red welts on the shoulders... We’d shoot it, then laugh like hell.
Sold it...sigh...she was a sweetie though. Ammo was 25 bucks a box back then for it. Probably totally ridiculous now.
Funny, when you think about it...some of the best times I’ve had in my life have been on the range, in tactical matches, three-gun matches, long-range shooting competitions, etc. Guns and gunnies everywhere.
And nobody - NOBODY - ever got killed there, ever.
I assume you had the correct gun for each individual situation?
The thought of firing a bear gun at a paper target...well, the mind reels! And of course, it is simply not possible for people to die on a range unless assault weapons or ‘Glocks’ are present.
But why would they be? They only kill people. They simply cannot hit paper. So unless you took one specifically to kill people, it stands to reason no one died. Fortunately for all involved, no one did. I am actually relieved you all were God-fearing men. You had the moral fortitude to resist the demonic spirits living within any Assault Rifles that may have been near by.
If only one child can be saved from the Assault Devils within black guns, no cost is too great to bear.
Those evil Salt Devils!
I got a salt devil in a papercut once, boy did that hurt.
“LOVE old lever guns...”
I just pray that the Libs never learn the horror-filled truth about lever/bolt action guns.
While they distract the public with the Satanic Majesty of the AR and the like...all those thin stamped metal/plastic and spot welded parts that are known to jam, potentially saving peoples lives through design/manufacturing issues...
We know that the secret Lever Action and Bolt Action projectors of great happiness and rainbows are almost impossible to jam, are made of machined steel and sometimes exotic alloys and are available to nearly EVERYONE.
Scoped. And sighted.
For great justice!...Er, happiness and puppies!
And because they by nature have limited capacity, the ALF- Earth First! unapprived target/deerslayer of death and great happiness pulling those carefully assembled in America triggers has to, by DESIGN!!!, put more effort into choosing and hitting his/her paper target. Or Wombat.
Which means logically, that what he aims at, rather than sprays at, is likely to get critically hit, the gun not jam on reload and the target be hit again.
These are instruments of great terror! And happiness.
Unlike those AR derivatives. Which as we know, only hit people due to their inherent design flaws.
The Lacquer Thinner Devils are quite viscous as well!
Potato Juice devils too!
Was peeling a potato one fine evening, got cut and the potato decided to attack me!
Terrible, I must warn everyone about the danger posed by the lowly potato!
We need potato control!
Along with Black potato guns...
ASSAULT POTATO GUNS!!!!
Evil high starch capacity assault potato!
Someone warn Bloomberg!
Wonder if any of the libtards reading along from the poutside are understanding the illustration by way of lunacy that we’re doing?
Naaah, they’re not smart enough to get it.
Otherwise, they’d understand what the Bill of Right and the Constitution mean.
Lunacy? The hell you say!
Is it not obvious that you were attacked by a potato whose father lost it’s ‘e’ due to it’s close association with potato ‘G U N S ?!?!?!?
It was probably a good potato once. Hard working and faithful to his wife. A good all-American family spud. And then some redneck crammed it into a potato gun and poof!
No more E.
I can see clearly why that potato attacked you. It was the revenge and viscous circle of violence begetting more violence. Violently.
And you sit here mocking it. Do you feel NOTHING for this poor dinner staPLE?
tHIS IS WHY i QUESTION YOUR LIBERAL CREDENTIALS!!!
LOL!
The potato wasturning its life around and had a promising career in wrap.
Er, rap.
Isn’t that always the way?
He was trying to make a better life for his 27 illegitimate offspring. And then guns entered his life.
Some damn white racist with a confederate flag at a kegger changed all that.
And a million fires marched on Washington. Yet no one heard their cries. Because white privledge and Jack Daniels were more important.
We’ll never know if the potato could have been a doctor curing erectile dysfunction, an anthropologist or even a side order.
And spirit possessed black gun violence is the reason why.
Fries as well I think.
I’m going to head to bed.
Ate enough chips to make the ghosts of slain potatoes angry.
I shall sleep fitfully tonight as they haunt me.
It’s all racial. The color of his russet skin led to a white man picking up a potato gun and altering his life forever.
And it was probably a black potato gun, since they are most likely to be spirit possessed.
Who cries for this potato’s children?
I do....
