NRA creates false Obama mailers
I never will understand having to lie to support your position
Re: NRA creates false Obama mailers
Yep, and CNN covered their TV ads, too. I've really moderated my position on gun control since meeting DH and hearing more pro-gun positions (and to the consternation of my mother, shooting some weapons), but I cannot get behind the NRA. Ever.
From CNN's Emily Sherman
(CNN)?The National Rifle Association is taking aim at Sen. Barack Obama?s ?bitter? comment in a new ad, claiming the Illinois senator wants to ban shotguns and rifle?s commonly used for hunting.
?I learned that Barack Obama supports new tax on my guns and ammo,? Karl Rusch of Virginia says. ?But it?s not just new taxes that Barack Obama wants. You can believe it. He also supports a ban on the shotguns and rifles most of us use for hunting.?
Obama has called for permanently reinstating the assault weapons ban, and voted for a 2005 amendment placing restrictions on rifle ammunition that is ?designed or marketed? to be armor-piercing, but has not called for confiscation of rifles.
Watch: Obama speaks about his view on gun control
Joe Biden told supporters at a campaign event in Virginia Saturday they need not worry about their guns being confiscated under an Obama-Biden administration.
?I guarantee you, Barack Obama ain't taking my shotguns. So don't buy that malarkey,? Biden said Saturday. ?They're going to start peddling that to you. I got two and if he tries to fool with my Berretta, he's got a problem.?
In the NRA?s ad, ?Hunter,? Rusch concludes, ?No politician is going to take away my guns and ammo. You don?t have to be bitter to know Barack Obama isn?t the kind of change we need.?
Despite the NRA?s strong criticism of Obama, the group has not endorsed John McCain for president.
McCain addressed NRA members at their convention in May, telling them he hasn?t agreed with them on ?every issue,? but ?those disagreements do not detract from my long record of support for the Second Amendment.?
