A top official with the National Rifle Association said Friday that President Obama will move to "destroy" gun rights and "erase" the Second Amendment if he is re-elected in November.
While delivering one of the liveliest and best-received speeches at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre said the president's low-key approach to gun rights during his first term was "a "conspiracy to ensure re-election by lulling gun owners to sleep."
"All that first term, lip service to gun owners is just part of a massive Obama conspiracy to deceive voters and hide his true intentions to destroy the Second Amendment during his second term," he said.
"We see the president's strategy crystal clear: Get re-elected and, with no more elections to worry about, get busy dismantling and destroying our firearms' freedom, erase the Second Amendment from the Bill of Rights and excise it from the U.S. Constitution."
Mr. LaPierre said the president's two Supreme Court appointees — Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan— are "two of the most rabid anti-gun justices in history." He also accused Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg of being a foe of gun rights.
And with the possibility of two or more Supreme Court justice positions opening during the next four years, the NRA official warned that gun ownership would be in jeopardy if Mr. Obama stays in office.
"If we get one more like those three, the Second Amendment is finished," he said. "It'll be the end of our freedom forever."

COME AND TAKE IT!!!
“Well, at least I’ll finally get to see one of those new stealth Blackhawks when they land outside of my house. Cool!”
And the drones! Don’t forget the drones! Like spooky spooks!
The plan is in the works: Bring all the troops home where they are handy and available for controlling the population. Have Michelle feign a concern and cozy up to the military like she has been doing for the past two years. Next...take away the guns of private U.S. citizens. Then...order the military to police the country...ala Hitler. Yep...that is what is coming if Obama is given a second term.
My wife said the same thing several days ago. The military coming home is going to be used against us.
A county sheriff’s department north of Houston now has a drone. Why do they need a drone?
Wolverines !!
In the mean time, the NRA continues to give money to the likes of Harry Reid.
I intend to own one of those new stealth Blackhawks when they land outside of my house.
The beauty of the Second Amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it.” Thomas Jefferson
We need to defeat him in November, and indict him in January.
I really don't care anymore just who the GOP has as a candidate now. I just know we must get Obama out of there and worry about the rest later. No one in the Republican party, whether a true conservative or not, could possibly be as bad as Obama and his collection of criminals and America hating progressives/liberals/socialists who are running and ruining this country. Whether we like the GOP pic or not...we must get behind him and get the narcissistic, socialist maniac out of the Oval Office and on the list of unemployed!
I have no doubts that he will try, may even send in his brown shirts to attempt it. But my fervent reply is and always will be; “MOLON LABE.”
Maybe, but he sure ain’t gonna do it without a willing Congress and the likes of Harry Ried - oops - sorry! I forgot that Harry Ried is endorse by the NRA.
And you reckon that the military is just going to say: Sir! Yes, Sir! and start shooting American civilians to take away their guns?
Pretty simple, actually:
First step would be to institute exorbitant Federal excise taxes on ammunition, powder, primers and brass; and shut down all shooting ranges.
April is my bet."
IMHO, even if we do make it to the election, the lid will explode off the system in the 2-weeks following the election.
The hundreds of mob racial attacks during the past year-and-a-half haven't been for nothing. Practice...practice...practice...
Win or lose, chaos is inevitable...
It’s crazy that this “man” even has a chance to get re-elected.
I lost all my guns in a tragic fire Janet!! :(
I agree. Those of us who can comprehend these economy numbers simply don’t believe that they can be corrected. Trillions are VERY large numbers. When Carl Sagan was asked how many stars are in the galaxy, he said “Billions and Billions”
I heard a geological survey state that there are about 200,000 billion trees in the US. (Not sure if that’s lower 48 or not, or even to confirm the claim at all). Trillions are just too large to comprehend.
There is no recovery from this. It’s terminal. It’s not something “Our Children” or “Our Children’s Children” can pay off. The pay-off would be hundreds of generations.
The money in our wallets, in our banks, even in our power-ball hopes is all fictional. It’s worthless. And at some point, the truth will catch up with us. Even $1000 dollar loaves of bread aren’t in the number ranges.
It’s already happened. The next president, be it Obama or not, will own this problem. And I fear that the brain-dead masses will make the GOP own that problem.
I envision people in 2013, chanting how much they miss Obama. Again, if we make it to another election. I’m not saying that there will be no election ever again, but I hope whatever group is strong enough to survive this and gain control over the United States simply returns us to the Constitution in it’s current form. I do fear that I will die in a land where firearms are completely illegal, and there is no where left on the planet where I (Or us) can live without subjugation. It truly is scary.
Everyone please get out your tin foil hats:
What if Obama could help his re-election chances and get new gun laws inacted with one event?
If someone shot at him and wounded him the media would show clips of the Kennedy Camelot 24/7, plus clips of Gabrielle Giffords (and show a 5 second clip of Reagan at 3 or 4a.m. so they can say they are fair and balanced). Talk radio and the hatefulness of the tea party would be covered ad nauseum. Pictures of Obama with his girls and playing basketball would be shown and all talk of unemployment would be gone along with his unconstitutional power grabs. The media and democrats would cry, “now is the time to get rid of guns”. We know they won’t let facts get in the way as they demonstrated right after the Gifford shooting.
The republican presidential candidate would be expected to stop saying anything remotely critical of Obama’s 1st term. It would truly cause a paralysis even worse than they’ve already shown as they would be petrified of media and voter backlash. The media would be like a mama bear guarding her cub.
I wouldn’t put it past them to do a PSA with Obama in a hospital bed about how important it is to rid ourselves of guns. It is a chilling scenario and would probably work. That’s what my tin foil hat showed me today! :)
Yes and as a member, that really burns me up.
