Obamas Illinois state senate record clearly shows that he is totally anti-gun. Do you think the NRA looked at a black politician and surreptitiously said 'lets give him an F'???
The NRA is being totally honest when they talk about his voting record, as it stands in Illinois. Obamas own words before and after Heller clearly show that he's paying lip service to which ever camp he needs to be in at the time. 'what works in cheyenne doesn't work in chicago'???? If anything, chicago is in need of more guns in the right hands, not more gun laws to prevent citizens from defending their homes.

Guns
That presents a problem for the NRA, which might explain their tactics of vilifying any elected official or candidate who supports any level of gun control. |
while I pay very little attention to what the NRA has to really say, the majority of americans that support 'reasonable' gun control show themselves to be more afraid of what their fellow americans COULD do instead of what actual criminals ARE doing.
