I am a native american and I approve this message!!!!!

I actually, in the flesh, heard a tribal chairman say that one of the very worst things the USG did to the native was given him money. Welfare destroyed the tribes.

I couldn’t believe it. This is a guy with a painting of Obama in a native headdress riding a horse in his office.

LOL I have seen that photo with the caption “The Original Homeland Security. Fighting Terrorism since 1492”

OUTSTANDING!

I’m 1/16th Cherokee believe it or not. The Georgia and Carolina Cherokees like their gambling, too....firearms and smokes? Georgia isn’t one of them gungrabber or $10/pack states like New York.

Geronimo was a terrorist murderer. Attacked the US in the southern AZ area (Sierra Vista, Huachuca, etc.) and then hightailed back to Mexico.

I’m glad they got him.

"BTW, every Native American I know is very pro 2nd. This includes ones on the res and off."

Same here. Years ago I had a conversation about this issue with a friend of mine. Be was a "straight from the Res Navajo." (His mother and grandmother were brujas - medicine women - back on the res.)
His comment was almost exactly the same - "Yeah...trust the government to take care of you after they take yer guns...sure...Don't you read history?"

Are you kidding me? I have a Native American friend who himself posted this pic on a forum. Some people’s only purpose in life is to look for ways to be offended,they need to get a life and get over themselves.

I don’t have a problem with it.I think its a great billboard. I don’t know who those Indians are but they don’t speak for me.
I say lock and load. And so do my friends.

My grandmother was Full Blood Creek and I approve of this message.

"It wasn't just about our guns," said Vernon, a Native American.

Of course it wasn't just about the guns. That was just a step in the process. Just like now.
The ultimate goal can't be realized against an armed people.

Greeley resident Kerri Salazar, who is of Native American descent, said she was livid when she learned about it.

I'll bet she has high cheekbones and maybe 1/32nd Native blood, if that, but she does have 100% Democrat blood.

[Colorado Doug]

actually, its sounds as if it is a guilt-ridden white woman doing the complaining.

DING DING DING! We have a winner!

This is causing quite a stir - making the gun control freaks heads explode.

Interesting FACT: Native Americans vote more reliably Democrat than Blacks! Most Native American communities vote Democrat in the mid to upper 90 percentile.

I doubt that's true in Oklahoma. I'm too busy to look it up though.

Obviously, this story is contrived, probably at the behest of the Colorado and/or national Democrats, to make supporters of the Second Amendment seem racist.

I would bet money that this story does not reflect the consensus.

[Lumper20]

Which one? 1890 or 1973?

Elizabeth Warren is a disgrace. She used that BS to get her into this and that. This AA has to stop.

“My ancestors probably scalped your ancestors...”

LOL!

Stupid liberal, Maureen Brucker left out Sand Creek too. Unarmed women and children.
