NRA Addicted to Paranoia

Let’s get one thing straight: the NRA hates HATES President Obama. If Obama even had a conceal and carry license and popped someone from holding up a liquor store, the NRA would still hate him. So, the NRA continues to beat the drum that President Obama – strike that – a black man is going to take their guns away. Gun sales are up again.

Mitt Romney spoke at the NRA convention yesterday amid more cries that Obama would take their guns away, even though this did not happen during the first term. Interestingly, Romney only mentioned the word “gun” once, but “freedom” 31 times. Blech. That’s the sound of me vomiting.

The right to bear arms is so plainly stated, so unambiguous, that liberals have a hard time challenging it directly. Instead, they’ve been employing every imaginable ploy to restrict it.

I applaud true conservationists like Rob Keck who work to preserve lands, herds and flocks for hunting. I applaud Ambassador Bolton for opposing international efforts to erode our rights. I applaud Congressman Issa and Senator Grassley for their work in exposing the “Fast and Furious” scandal. And I applaud NRA leadership for being among the first and most vocal in calling upon Attorney General Holder to resign.

We need a President who will enforce current laws, not create new ones that only serve to burden lawful gun owners.
