Wrong. Ruger 10/22 and a .38 snubed revolver. And yet I'm still not going to join the NRA.

Your one of the Obama Plants that he told to go out and lie about his record. NRA has protected our right to bear arms.

Your a traitor to this fine country by supporting a man who is funded by terrorists. Yes Obama is being funded bym Radical Islamic Extremists who hate this country and want to destroy it and to take away our right to defend ourselves against terrorists.

I don't believe you are "a proud gun owner and shooter". I am sure you don't have any guns , including BB gun , toy guns etc.
Your posts are so extreme antigun and anti NRA. You also supports the most antigun candidate ever to run for president of the usa.
A man you know will try very hard to ban all handguns and most rifles for civilians.
What "proud gun owner and shooter" would ever do that.

Listen to Biden's carefully worded statement. "Ain't takin my shotguns" and " I love my over and under". That excludes the vast majority of guns and implies some are OK and some aren't. Typical of their deceitful doublespeak on the issue. Obama can't hide from his true position on this, the facts speak for themselves.

I am a REPUBLICAN. You know why? While I was in the Marine Corps, Clinton got in and decimated the military. You hear now that the military is stretched thin. That is because the democrats cut the military almost to the point it cannot be effective, and now they whine about it. We are in Iraq and Afganistan. TWO fronts. How many did we have in WWII? I am a gun owner. I've hunted since I was a kid with my dad (Vietnam Marine Vet). I will not vote for obama because he is RED!!!! By the way my congessman is the honorable John Dingell, an NRA supported democrat. I have never contributed much money, but that is changing this year. I've already sent a couple hundred bucks to Mccain/Palin and will start sending more to the NRA. Afterall, I AM the NRA/

Biden is the father of the Clinton Gun ban of 1994 that attempted to take the civil rights away of millions of gun owners. Biden refused to back down when even liberal Dems. warned him their could well be a back lash. Biden refused and many Dems. in progun states lost their seats. Even Clinton admitted 25+ seats the Dems. lost in the House was over the gun ban. The Repulicans took control of the House and Senate.

Study up!! On Huntersandshooters
This is an orgainization that is run by individuals who have a long history of activity in the gun control movement. The organization is also funded by anti-gun dollars. This is not an alternative for thinking gun owners. This is a place for fools who do not think or are not informed.

After Obama says "he protect guns....... he then says he supports banning entire classes of semi auto military rifles that millions of American use for hunting, competative shooting, defense, plinking etc. You need to read between the line. Study up do not take his words at face value.

I respect their classes and qualifications (after all, what kid with a .22 didn't want to qualify as a sharpshooter and get a cool patch) but not their politics.

Who have ever heard of a politician from Gunbancity Chicargo , who have ever suported gunrights and other citizens rights for that matter.
Please come on. Everybody knows Obama is just lying to win the election. He is also endorsed by the antigun brady campaign.
If he wins the election , he will have the power to take away our gunrights , he dosn't need the congress.
He can take away our rights by apointing antigun judges , and by apointing antigun diplomates in the UN.
UN diplomates is trying very hard these days to get the Bush administration to sign a letter that will ban handguns for private citizens in the world , including the USA. If the president sign that binding letter , it is goodbye for ever to the second amendment. And trust me Obama will be very happy to sign it. He knows any future president can not roll that signature back.

Yes, Senator b
Biden, please give us a break! I have in my files a newspaper photo of you brandishing a TEC-9 "assault pistol" at a Senate hearing on gun control in 1993. That hearing resulted in the farce known as the "Clinton/Brady Assault Rifle Ban" that we had to put up with for 10 years. You and Barack "Empty Suit" Obama are two of the most anti-gun-rights advocates in office, and your respective voting records prove it. You and Obama can make all the pro-Second Amendment noises you want, and it won't change the record. I hope that all of America's law-abiding gun owners get out and vote for McCain, and relegate the two of you to the footnote-in-history status that you so richly deserve!

Sen. Obama consistently refers to hunters/sportsman when talking about his support of the 2nd ammendment... the problem is that the 2nd ammendment makes no reference to hunting, nor did the authors discuss hunting when writing the ammendment... rather they discussed it so that the people had the right to defend themselves from a tyranical goverment, either domestic or foreign... futhuremore less than 1 out of 5 gun owners identify themselves as hunters and a recent poll shows that the majority of gun owners purchased their firearms for reasons other than hunting... when someone states "even if I wanted to (take away your guns) I don't have the votes in congress" I am sorry that is not reassuring to me!

Re: NRA takes aim at Obama in Colorado over firearms record

I LIKE MY RIGHTS — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 18:50:56 -0000

You are a liar , not the NRA. NRA have never said the democrats ( I am a democrat myself ) "will take away peoples guns" They have said some politicians , among them democrats as well as republicans will take away peoples guns , and that is truth. Obama has in the past (before the election ) said he would ban every single handgun in the nation. And if you look at hes voting records I trust that statement. Obama is the most antigun candidate ever to run for the white house.
I don't like to wote for a republican , but I simply have to. I like my civil rights too much.

Hey Joe,

It ain't shotguns but my ARs and handguns. When they finally get them they will be hot and empty.

AHSA is a shill for the Brady Campaign. I guess the Brady Bunch is giving up on twisting statistics and spreading misinformation and resorting to "divide and conquer". Someone should tell them that only 1 out 5 gun owners are hunters.

The NRA is not out of touch , but you are. NRA is a highly respected civil rights movement and is very moderate too.

Obama suprted the unlawfull DC gunban. He still suports the illegal Chicago gunban. In the past he has suported every gunban proposal on hes desk. , including a total handgunbanThe NRA has rightfully gradet him an F on his voting records on the gun and hunting issues.
Obama dosn't like civil rights , therefor I don't like him.
I will not trust him to apoint the new judges in the supreme court.

Civil Rights — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 17:23:57 -0000

The NRA is a very truthful and moderate organisation. They endorses democrats as well as republicans.
The only isue they are looking at , are the candidates stands on guns and hunting. I like Obama , but I have to agree with The NRA. Obama Will try to take away peoples guns. He will do that by apointing antigun judges , including supreme court judges , and by apointing antigun diplomats in the UN.
The UN are trying to ban all handguns for all private citizens , including US citizens , dispite of the second amendment. If the Obama administration signs that ban ( and they will ) the second amendment is not worth anything.
It is very sad because I otherwise like Obama , but when it comes to civil rights I don't. For that reason alone I will wote for McCain.

Yes, I'll join the chorus of saying I don't give a ??? Oabama says, I look at his record AND past statements. Most of the time these days he mentions not taking guns away, but he doesn't specify which guns.and mostly talks about "hunting". What about handguns??? The record there speaks for itself. As for those self identified gun owners and shooters who say the NRA is out of touch, either you are not who you say you are, or you haven't got a clue or are too lazy to check out the facts. The anti gun people have always thought divide and conquer was the way to go. Yeah, I'm a bitter gun owner because I get tired of "most" liberals insinuating I'm some kind of nut and can't be trusted with a firearm or anyone else for that matter. I also look at who the Democrats are cozying up with and see a bunch of crackpots and fruitloops who someday will want something in return for their support.

Actually, all nine justices voted to support the Second Amendment as an INDIVIDUAL right. The justices that Mr. Obama admires claim that the government has the right to limit the exercise of those rights to a military or government controlled context. Or, as Barack says, "I know that what works in Chicago may not work in Cheyenne," That is, infringement is really cool.
