Obama, The Second Amendment and the NRA

When Right Side News received the following from a good friend, I discovered that my NRA membership had elapsed. I call on all Americans to join the NRA today. Barack Obama's campaign promise not to take away our guns is a lie. The proof is in his appointments. He's not even in office, yet he's fired the opening salvos in a war against the future of the Second Amendment, our hunting and shooting traditions, and YOU. This is from the NRA: Obama's FIRST attack on YOU: Appointing Illinois Congressman Rahm Emanuel to be White House Chief of Staff. In Congress, Emanuel earned an "F" rating from NRA, and while working in the Clinton Administration, he was known as the "point man on gun control." He is an avowed enemy of the Second Amendment and will wield enormous power in the battle for the future of our firearm freedoms.

On all issues of import, including the vital issue of our second amendment rights, Barack Hussein Obama is the anti-thesis to our foundational American principles.

THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH ABOUT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA

BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA IN HIS OWN WORDS ON NUMEROUS ISSUES

[pepperhead]

Back in 1996 0bama signed a questionnaire where he said “yes” to support for legislation to ban the manufacture, sale and possession of handguns and “yes” to a ban on so called assault weapons.

The blind, ignorant and selfish left put this Marxist in our White House. They too will pay the price but are STILL too ignorant to know it.....

[ync1994]

Dittos. It would be a good idea to get all our friends and relatives to join the NRA. The NRA is turning out to be the organization where we can exercise the most “clout”.

BO is already aware that 57 million of us voted against him. Plus, he knows the huge membership of the NRA and the news of gun sales skyrocketing since he (BO) was elected.

Go ahead and make our day, BO. Try to fiddle with the Second Amendment.

I received this as an e-mail from the NRA this morning.

Dear Fellow NRA Member,

In the next few days, you’ll receive your new NRA membership card.

The moment you receive it, I urge you to validate your new membership card as soon as possible. More than ever, we need you to stand with NRA and fight to save our Second Amendment freedoms.

Because Barack Obama’s campaign promise
not to take away our guns is a lie.

He’s not even in office, yet he’s fired the opening salvos in a war against the future of the Second Amendment, our hunting and shooting traditions, and YOU.

Obama’s FIRST attack on YOU: Appointing Illinois Congressman Rahm Emanuel to be White House Chief of Staff. In Congress, Emanuel earned an “F” rating from NRA, and while working in the Clinton Administration, he was known as the “point man on gun control.” He is an avowed enemy of the Second Amendment and will wield enormous power in the battle for the future of our firearm freedoms.

Obama’s SECOND attack on YOU: If Hillary Clinton is confirmed as Secretary of State, she’ll rip the Second Amendment right out of the Bill of Rights. She’ll be our nation’s top diplomat with the power to determine whether the United Nations will pass, and Obama will sign, a global gun ban treaty that will surrender our Second Amendment rights and our national sovereignty.

Obama’s THIRD attack on YOU: Nominating ex-Senator and former Majority Leader Tom Daschle-an avowed enemy of NRA-to be Secretary of Health and Human Services. NRA was responsible for defeating Daschle when he ran in South Dakota for re-election to the Senate. If Daschle is confirmed, he could hold the ultimate power to declare guns a “public health menace” and regulate away our essential liberties.

Obama’s FOURTH attack on YOU: Nominating Eric Holder to be Attorney General. As former Assistant Attorney General, Holder was a key architect and vocal advocate for the Clinton era’s sweeping gun ban agenda. He supported national handgun licensing, mandatory trigger locks, and ending gun shows as we know them.

Just recently, Holder opposed the District of Columbia’s Heller decision that declared the Second Amendment an individual right. Holder also called for reviving the Clinton gun bans and, as Attorney General, would fight in court to prevent the landmark Heller decision from being made applicable to state and local governments.

Worst of all, if Holder is confirmed as the nation’s top law-enforcement officer, he would control BATFE and wield enormous power to harass gun owners and sue America’s arms makers out of existence.

Obama’s FIFTH attack on YOU: In the job application for the Obama Administration, he made it clear that gun owners are second-class citizens and told 80 million gun owners not to even bother applying for a job. In the “White House Personnel Data Questionnaire” he asked:

“Do you or any members of your immediate family own a gun? If so, provide
complete ownership and registration information. Has the registration ever
lapsed? Please also describe how and by whom it is used and whether it has
been the cause of any personal injuries or property damage.”

This chilling notice to gun owners-that they are not welcome to serve in his Administration-shows the deep hostility for Americans’ Second Amendment Freedoms that Obama and his Administration have in their hearts.

On its face, that question endorses gun registration-a mandate in only five states in our nation-and buys into the anti-gun premise that firearms are inherently dangerous and gun owners are prone to misusing them.

That’s an outrageous mindset, especially for the President-elect whose sworn duty will be to uphold the U.S. Constitution, including our right to keep and bear arms.

Obama CLEARLY wants to make gun registration the law of the land.

First for employees under his control...AND THEN FOR YOU.

Working with a Congress dominated by gun haters like Nancy Pelosi, Dianne Feinstein, John Conyers, Henry Waxman, and Charles Schumer!!!

Rubbing salt in gun owner wounds is the Brady Campaign, which just issued a completely bogus poll claiming that two-thirds of the Americans-including 60% of all gun owners-favor gun registration, licensing of firearm owners, and other sweeping restrictions on our firearm freedoms!

Add it all up and you have the potential
for a Second Amendment disaster that’s unlike
any other NRA members have ever battled.

That’s why we need the strongest possible commitment from EVERY NRA member, starting today. That’s why I’m hoping you’ll validate your new NRA membership card the moment you receive it.

Because our greatest strength is you.

Only by working with you can NRA hold the line against these threats from every quarter. We are the one force that has the strength to keep Americans free and our rights intact for future generations. With you at our side, we will fight and we will prevail against all odds.

Thank you for your loyalty to NRA and the cause of Freedom.

I’m a life member so the validation of my NRA card translates to the NRA wanting a donation from me.

[ync1994]

“but are STILL too ignorant to know it.....”

Yes, it’s mind-boggling, isn’t it? I keep waiting for someone to wake me up out of this horrible nightmare.

[Condor51]

Besides Rahm Emanuel there's Eric Holder as AG.

There will be a full scale assault on US and the 2A by Holder. Especially with the BATF now under the AG's and Justice Dept's jurisdiction and not Treasury.

(Holder should be filibustered, he's a quasi criminal)

This is an old article, that represents the solid EVIDENCE, that taking guns away from LAW ABIDING CITIZENS INCREASES CRIME. The radical leftists who would sink the Second Amendment, KNOW THIS VERY WELL -— so why, you ask, knowing also that criminals do not obey laws anyway, would they attack something that REDUCES crimes and keeps it down????

The answer is simple. They fear the Second Amendment for the EXACT REASON IT WAS INCLUDED IN THE BILL OF RIGHTS! As any totalitarian government or mindsets would.

The RUSE of crime-reduction will continue to be dumped upon the IGNORANT masses...and the attack upon the Second Amendment will continue, the Constitutional right(s) of the American people will continue to be a target of a socialist/Marxist case of paranoia.

The figures about Australia are particularly revealing, albiet perfectly in line with ALL COUNTRIES that ban gun ownership. Nobody is fooling anyone here....

[snowsislander]

I call on all Americans to join the NRA today.

Yes, this will be difficult time, and joining the NRA is the most effective way to fight national gun control. The telephone number is 1-877-NRA-2000.

I know that some people don't care for the NRA's compromising ways, so here are the contact numbers for two other groups: Gunowners of America's telephone number is 1-703-321-8585, and the Second Amendment Foundation number is 1-800-426-4302.

[snowsislander]

I’m a life member so the validation of my NRA card translates to the NRA wanting a donation from me.

For what it is worth, at the life member level there are three additional upgrades to your life membership that you can make: the endowment, patron, and benefactor levels.

[TheConservativeParty]

Renewed my membership for 5 more years right after the election. Everyone else,,,,please consider doing the same.

[mkjessup]

Comrade 0bama and his politburo are coming for our guns.

BELIEVE THAT.

[Brouhaha]

I just recently extended my membership, which was good until 2011, for another five years so I am with everyone on the matter of supporting the NRA. The question on my mind lately is at what point do we exercise our second amendment rights for the reason which they were protected in the first place? Also, when/if the time comes, what means exist to exercise these rights in a realistic and fruitful way? I don’t want to take this thread into the realm of sedition (for my own sake and for everyone else’s). However, I think anyone that cares about the right to preserve liberty by force should be examining his or her own heart and deciding how to commit when and if the time comes.

While the NRA is busy busting heads and taking names, the GOA issues a letter agreeing with MoveOn.org on net-neutrality...

Go NRA!

[Shooter 2.5]

Can you explain for the people like me who are unaware of this?

goa=AWOL

[Fichori]

“Can you explain for the people like me who are unaware of this?”

The internet is run by the people who own the hardware.

Each internet service provider sells whatever kind of service with whatever kind of features for whatever price they want.

They can use whatever kind of hardware they want.

This basically just your good old fashioned free enterprise.


Net neutrality is an idea that would 'Government regulate' the internet.

From what I have been able to gather:
[NOTE: I have yet to see actual legislation drawn up]

All data would be required to be treated the same.
In other words, the ISP's could not give preferential treatment to streaming audio or video.

All ISP's would be required to operate pretty much the same.
Same hardware, same software, etc.

Of course, all ISP would have to charge the same as their competitors.

So when you take away competitiveness, there is no reason to provide competitive service.

And there would be no better ISP to switch to.

They would be all the same.

In then end it would probably be one Big Government Subsidized Boondoggle.

To sum up, I would say that net neutrality is just the Communist thugs saying We want to step in and tell entrepreneurs how to run their businesses.

Government regulation is never good.

Just look what happened when the Communist thugs started telling banks to give out loans equally to everyone, including those who could not pay them back.

People need to be left alone and allowed to operate their businesses like they want.

Its what America was founded on.


Does that help?

My previous rant on net nut rally.

[Shooter 2.5]

Thanks. I didn't know about this. I'm not particularly fond of the goa.

[Fichori]

And I’m not particularly fond of MoveOn.org!

GOA seems like a fund raising operation to me.

The NRA on the other hand... (Woo Hoo!)

But I digress.
