Americans "cling" to guns and religion because they are "bitter" about economic woes. Barack Hussein Obama
Obama is going to disarm, literally and figuratively. He will pry your cold, clinging, fingers from constitutionally protected firearm. Disarmed, our civilian population is like sheep to slaughter. And with the possibility of a leftist fascist administration, you are going to need your guns. Foe shizzle.
Obama voted with a minority of lawmakers in 2004 against a bill affirming a homeowner's right to use a firearm in self-defense against an intruder.
I just hung up with Richard A. Pearson, Executive Director Illinois State Rifle Association and confirmed statements he made in his newsletter. Here's what he said (hat tip sherry):
Although Obama claims to be an advocate for the 2nd Amendment, his voting record in the Illinois Senate paints a very different picture. While a state senator, Obama voted for a bill that would ban nearly every hunting rifle, shotgun and target rifle owned by Illinois citizens. That same bill would authorize the state police to raid homes of gun owners and forcibly confiscate banned guns. Obama supported a bill that would shut down law-abiding firearm manufacturers including Springfield Armory, Armalite, Rock River Arms and Les Baer. Obama also voted for a bill that would prohibit law-abiding citizens from purchasing more than one gun per month. Without a doubt, Barack Obama has proven himself to be an enemy of the law abiding firearm owner. At the same time, Obama has proven himself to be a friend to the hardened criminal. While a state senator, Obama voted 4 times against legislation that would allow a homeowner to use a firearm in defense of home and family. Does Barack Obama still sound to you like a “friend” of the law-abiding gun owner?
Then there is his buddy Richard Daley, the mayor of Chicago who has declared that if it were up to him, nobody would be allowed to own a gun. And let’s not forget Obama’s pal George Soros - the guy who has pumped millions of dollars into the UN’s international effort to disarm law-abiding citizens.
Obama has shown that he is more than willing to use other people’s money to fund his campaign to take your guns away from you. While a board member of the leftist Joyce Foundation, Barack Obama wrote checks for tens of millions of dollars to extremist gun control organizations such as the Illinois Council Against Handgun Violence and the Violence Policy Center.
According to Pearson, bi-annual checks for no less than $700,000 are given to gun control groups to support "legislative efforts". Groups like the Joyce Foundation. The Joyce Foundation is a liberal, charitable foundation that, among other things, funds gun control groups. According to Wikipedia :
Since 2003, the Joyce Foundation has paid grants totaling over $12 million to gun control organizations and for research into gun violence prevention. The largest single grantee has been the Violence Policy Center, which received $4,154,970 between 1996 and 2006, and calls for an outright ban on handguns, semi-automatic and other firearms, and substantial restrictions on gun owners.
Conveniently, the Joyce Foundation has a list of the gun control funding grants here .
The Joyce Foundation's Annual Reports list Barack Obama as one of the 12 members of the Board of Directors from 1998 until 2001 . (source Sportsmen for Obama?)
Jennifer Bishop, gun violence victim and Brady Field Director, testified in hearings that there is a weekly ANTI-GUN CONFERENCE CALL among gun control groups to coordinate efforts across the US to enact gun control legislation. When you see anti-gun actions pop up, even now in red states, these are not isolated grass roots incidents. This is part of a network, a large national effort, to ban guns. The leftist machine at work.
In Mr. Pearson's newsletter he warns Americans,
In closing, I’d like to remind you that I’m a guy who has actually gone nose to nose with Obama on gun rights issues. The Obama I know cannot even begin to identify with this nation’s outdoor traditions. The Obama I know sees you, the law abiding gun owner, as nothing but a low-class lummox who is easily swayed by the flash of a smile and a ration of rosy rhetoric. The Obama I know is a stony-faced liar who has honed his skill at getting what he wants - so long as people are willing to give it to him.
That’s the Barack Obama I know.
Does Barack Obama still sound to you like a “friend” of the law-abiding gun owner?
