The National Rifle Association cast its opposition to Obamas 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 its here, Wayne LaPierre, the NRAs fiery executive vice president, wrote in a fund-raising letter to the groups 4 million members. Its not about protecting your children. Its not about stopping crime. Its about banning your guns PERIOD!
The letter reflected the NRAs 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 Obamas proposals, according to people close to the groups who spoke on condition their names not be used in describing internal deliberations...

The infernal Roomba had me cornered, treed on the table as it maniacally rammed the table leg in an effort to knock me off so it could get me.
It beeped sullenly, then motored off.
Quietly I stepped down off the table and made my way across the room.
Behind me, I heard the whirring of tiny motors.
Then an excited beep.
I bolted, mowed down several plant stands and a very surprised cat as I fled to the safety of the stairwell.
The Roomba couldn’t handle stairs, I’d be safe!
Unfortunately, I’d gone down the stairs rther than up the stairs.
The Roomba gave an excited beep as it rocketed off the top step and launched into space!
In terror I turned around in time to see the spinning brush on the underside aimed right at my face!
I’m cowering under the table just reading this...
I have to go change my Depends after that scary story.
The horror we have to live with...
They ought to ban those Roombas...
I was lucky to escape with my face and most of my shirt intact!
They like to eat shirts, from what I understand...especially striped shirts. It sets them off every time.
Were you wearing a striped shirt??? They say vertical stripes are the worst...high-capacity vertical stripes - you know, lots of stripes on the shirt...??
Wide blue vertical stripe..
Uh oh.
“...Wide blue vertical stripe..
Uh oh....”
Yeah..
That’s bad. Real bad. They hate those the worst.
beep
beep whir
beep beepbep beep
Deet doot beep
whir
beep
That’s the sound of a Roomba about to kill...
it’s got my leg
oh geez this hurts
it has my leg!
It should not take many to prove bath house Barry is ineligible and likely guilty of many other crimes to boot.
They really need to stop letting New Hampshire and Iowa be the first to pick our candidates. If a non liberal state or two were first out of the box it may turn out differently.
An army of lawyers have already tried that angle.
Fight them into the ground, and inform Americans who will listen.
By Army, you mean one or two?

“Exactly! Who here really believes that Mr. Lee Harvey Oswald shot President John F. Kennedy?”
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Any good left wing Obama voter believes that! Of course most of them also believe Oswald got a fair trial on the charge. Many of them seem to believe that Richard Nixon was impeached and removed from office while William Jefferson Clinton was NOT impeached. I’m actually serious, I am not imagining. I have met people who believe these things, many of them believe that our currency is still backed by precious metal also. Some also believe that contributions to social security are voluntary and that it is easy for a working person to opt out of paying the FICA tax. It is not really surprising, after all these people are actually capable of believing that not believing in man made global warming is the same thing as not believing in climate change and that man made global warming exists and is threatening the existence of mankind and that it is caused by releasing a POLLUTANT into the atmosphere. Said pollutant is called CARBON DIOXIDE.
As for myself I accept Oswald’s own statement, “I am a patsy.”
No, I mean several dozen.
The NRA should spend EVERY PENNY IT HAS to defeat bohner
They need to use the left’sown tactic... They need to get MSM, Hollywood, or both if they want to win this issue IMO
Its time the right changes tactics and uses the left’s own tactics against them. I agree it’s time to stop being nice and start using the collective intellect, experience, and resources to rid the cancer (left / liberal / progressive ideology) that has invaded our house...it’s time to strategize and call them out when they are using underhanded and outright evil and deceptive tactics; spell out exactly what they are doing specifically and the tactic it corresponds to in the Alinsky handbook - Rules for Radicals. Study their playbook and shut them down by thinking several chess moves ahead.
The NRA needs to get MSM, Hollywood, or both if they want to win this issue IMO.
