    NRA And Brady Campaign AGREE: Barack Obama Is Anti-Gun

    Friday, October 17, 2008


    In a rare occurrence, NRA and the Brady Campaign (formerly Handgun Control, Incorporated) agree on something.

    <b>Four years ago, the Brady Campaign endorsed an anti-gun senator by the name of John Kerry for President, and NRA thought that decision made sense—for an anti-gun group. </b>

    This week, in a testament to his anti-gun record, Barack Obama also received a presidential endorsement from the Brady Campaign.

    So, once again, the Brady Campaign and NRA are in total agreement—Barack Obama is, by far, the most anti-gun presidential nominee in history and he certainly deserves the endorsement of one of the most outspoken anti-gun organizations in the country.

    NRA-ILA has repeatedly documented Obama’s anti-gun stance; but if any doubt remains about Obama’s true position on the Second Amendment, his endorsement from the Brady Campaign should dispel it.

    The Brady endorsement of Obama comes on the heels of similar endorsements we’ve reported on from the American Hunters and Shooters Association, and the Humane Society of the United States, and dovetails nicely with them¾the first group being the leading anti-gun lobby in the country; the second, a phony front group whose mission is to confuse sportsmen as to their true anti-gun agenda; and the third a radical animal “rights” group that wants to ban all hunting in the United States!

    So, as a pro-gun voter, you’ve got to ask yourself: Why do these vehemently anti-gun, anti-hunting groups unequivocally endorse Barack Obama? And the answer is: They know he supports their anti-gun, anti-hunting agenda and is therefore their logical and unanimous choice!

    The Brady endorsement puts Obama in the anti-gun company of Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ), Jack Reed (D-RI), Carolyn McCarthy (D-NY), John Conyers (D-NY), Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX), and, of course, John Kerry (D-MA), to name a few, who are also counted among the Bradys’ endorsed, anti-gun political elite this year.

    The NRA Political Victory Fund (NRA-PVF) has issued its endorsement in the 2008 Presidential race (due to federal campaign finance regulations, you’ll have to read more about that endorsement by clicking here), and is more than confident that its endorsed candidate is not simply the better choice of the two; he is the far better choice. In fact, there can be no doubt; the man Brady, AHSA, and HSUS have endorsed is the most anti-gun presidential candidate in American history!

    Wow Rino bullets huh? What makes them so special about being "amored pearsing"? Looks to me like they are a lead core bonded to a copper jacket so it just makes no "since" to me as how they are different than the other billion bullets out there.

    I've been wanting a Mini-14 for a while, and with the likely result of the election, I bought one last week. I doubt that gun control will be at the top of Obama's or a Democratic Congress's agenda, but I'm sure that it will come up, and because it can shoot more than one cartridge a minute, I'm pretty sure it will be one of the first things the gun-grabbers try to ban.

    If I had money to burn I'd buy a few .50 cal bolt action or Barrett semi auto ubercannons. With a wave of Dems heading for Washington, that is likely to be the first place they start a ban and the value of those things will shoot through the roof.

    Plus, I've always wanted to shoot one.

    why do you like the Ruger over the AR's?

    My friend has a ruger and the AR's just seem to be a much better rifle to me.

    Ok let me break it down for you

    to use a firearm for self defense it has to be loaded and easily (quickly) accessible, he is against this being legal.




    he supported a handgun ban in Ill. and he supported the DC handgun ban


    He supported a law that would close all gun shops within 5 miles of a school. This was found to be about 90% of them

    rifle rounds used for hunting are more powerful than handgun rounds. police wear vest designed to stop handguns. Thus anti-gunners have decided that rifle rounds are "cop killers" and thus should be banned.

    They want to expand it from real AP to anything that can go through a vest required to be worn by police. Police are required to wear vests that are rated to stop handguns. Soldiers wear vest rated stop rifles.

    Here is what the guy who wrote it had to say:

    This, too, shall pass?

    There's a difference between vowing to close a blanket 90% of gun shops & supporting a law which would outlaw them near schools, a difference between supporting an assault weapons ban and wanting to ban all rifle ammuntion. This article is grossly unfair to Obama's actual positions.
