The NRA vs. Obama
Barack Obama has tried to claim he's in favor of an individual right to own firearms.
The NRA has discovered his record tells a different story, and now they're pointing it out in ads, in this month's issue of "American Rifleman" and on the web. Here are some choice quotes by The One:
"I am consistently on record and will continue to be on record as opposing concealed carry." - Obama, Chicago Tribune, April 27, 1994In addition, he supports higher taxes on gun sales, a ban on handgun ownership and bans on commonly-used ammunition. Basically, all backdoor ways to ban gun ownership. Doesn't sound much like a support of a right to own firearms to me."...just because you have an individual right does not mean that the state or local government can't constrain the exercise of that right..." - 2008 Philadelphia primary debate
Is there anything this guy won't lie about?

who is gonna show that he's lying?
It's a shame really how the 'respected' media outlets have shown their bias. It'll only give the internet a more solid push toward legitimacy when we have to seek them for actual facts.

Gosh and here he was on TV tonight, in his own ad and own voice, telling Florida how he's ALWAYS supported the Second Amendment AND an individual's right to self protection.

Um, no. Not really.
