Here We Go....Anti-Gun Obama Ready to Rip the 2nd Amendment

[Rick in Oregon]

Got this in an email from a fellow NRA member.... It speaks for itself, and is a clear indication that our guns and gun rights are in real danger from this possible "non-American" citizen who unfortunately will be our next president.

**** Alert *** Alert *** Alert ****

Dear Fellow NRA Member,

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.

As I recall on many forums gunowners, some of them NRA members, desperately wanted change.
I also recall thier pleadings that Obamha promised to uphold the 2nd Amendment and would never ever never go back on his words of honor. Others opined the NRA would be capable of fending off any gun control measures. (silliest idea I ever heard of but our only chance)
All Ostriches IMO.
Change is coming and coming faster than expected. No good can ever come from it. Lots of scenarios for the countrys future and none of them look bright.

It's not a happy time for us, for sure. Some of the gunowners who voted for Obama will now be having some voter's remorse, no doubt. The others will never get it, anyway, sad to say.
It might take them awhile, (they do have the economy to work on), but it's gonna take all we have to fight them this time. Gonna have to hope for the best in 2010, and work for changing Congress' make-up. At least the Senate isn't all 'D' all the time, with 41 'R's, they can filibuster if need be.

[chip-don]

in counting votes ,in the senate is not 41 por gun reb. and 59 antis the nra does a good job not opposing pro gun dems. in the recent past we pro gun people have been on offence now we need to be sure each of us join the fight with money and time, remember it is for our future and those yet to come

The NRA is using hyperbole to drum up donations and membership renewals. My wife received the email because she is an annual member, I did not because I am a life member. It's okay to donate and even advisable, but don't get too emotional about the NRA's demagoguery. Obama is going to have a very difficult time ahead, just to keep his head above water, he may not want to knock the gun control hornet's nest in a first term.

The NRA is the NRA, big business first and everything else second.

The sandman is not the one taking the 2nd Amendment away from us!!! Capone didn't shoot his adversaries either!! He had his henchmen do it for him!! Everybody needs to wake up & see the light in this!! He is surrounding himself with the right people to do his dirty work for him & all he's gonna do is sign the darn bill into law!!

[Captqc]

I can't decide if I should puke , cry or something else . This is going to be a rough four years. Gary

[Glen]

I hope it's ONLY 4 years Gary!! Whatever they pass will be for a lot more than 4 tho. They want the clinton ban back but this time they are trying to make it permanent.


I just wish people would have seen the light earlier & realized that birds of a feather flock together & now look who he has appointed.
