NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Leaders of the National Rifle Association on Saturday cited the new Republican majority in the U.S. Senate as evidence of the group's political clout, but warned of looming gun-control efforts in the final years of Barack Obama's presidency.LaPierre and Chris Cox, the head of the NRA's lobbying arm, painted a bleak picture of the state of the country and the dangers to gun rights presented by the last 650 days of Obama's presidency. "There's no telling how far President Obama will go to dismantle our freedoms and reshape America into an America that you and I will not even recognize," LaPierre said. "And when he's finished he intends to go out with a coronation of Hillary Rodham Clinton." Clinton is expected to announce the launch of her bid for the Democratic nomination for president on Sunday. Cox said Clinton would make Obama "look like an amateur" when it comes to gun control. "Think about it: Hillary Clinton as president of the United States until 2025," Cox said. "Scared yet?" Meanwhile, a few hundred NRA protesters gathered in a park along the nearby Cumberland River. Shannon Watts, the founder of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, criticized what she called LaPierre's "fear-mongering rhetoric." The NRA's goal, Watts said, is: "Guns for anyone, anywhere, anytime - no questions asked." Back at the NRA meeting, the group's president, Jim Porter, criticized politicians and the media on gun rights, a common refrain throughout speeches at the convention. "They think that they're better and smarter than we are, as if they're more sophisticated and intellectually evolved than we are," Porter said. "When it comes to those elitists, looking down their noses and telling us how to live, it's time they got the message loud and clear," he said. "You elitists live however your want, but when it comes to us, get your hands off our freedom and leave us the hell alone." On Friday, the NRA hosted a series of speeches from potential Republican presidential candidates, including former Gov. Jeb Bush and Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida; Govs. Scott Walker of Wisconsin and Bobby Jindal of Louisiana; Sen. Ted Cruz and former Gov. Rick Perry of Texas; former Gov. Mike Huckabee of Arkansas; Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina; and neurosurgeon Ben Carson. The NRA's Cox told members on Saturday that the group has a multi-pronged approach to opposing gun-control advocates. "We'll fight you in the courts, we'll fight you in the legislatures and we'll fight you on Election Day," he said. http://www.aol.com/article/2015/04/11/nra-leaders-warn-members-of-looming-gun-control-efforts/21171132/?icid=maing-grid7|main5|dl1|sec1_lnk2%26pLid%3D642298 IP: Logged |

GOOD.I hope the next democratic president comes through on this. This is all speculative garbage though, Obama hasn't done anything to threaten the rights of the NRA. Situations like Adam Lanza and the massacre of the Newbury school are a potent example of why stricter gun control is required. Not everyone should have access to guns. NRA wankers gave 0 shites about the lives of the children after that incident, it was all about their own rights. People have a right to demand safety, which is compromised when anyone can have a gun. Oh, but guns don't kill people, but people kill people LMAO. Yeah, they pulled the trigger, that is kind of related to the gun. IP: Logged |

More screeching about something that didn't happen. The govt that tramples on people received a bunch of protest comments and LISTENED and they are ridiculed for "backing down". I wonder how many of those comments included the phrase "black African Muslim dictator" - like the comments under articles about this PROPOSED restriction that NEVER HAPPENED?So relax you can continue to shoot up the place with LEAD BULLETS despite the 1985 BAN on most other ammo for the same guns.

Gun control goons would have everyone believe it's only the NRA and NRA members who oppose Socialist demoscat gun grabs and more gun control.Of course, that's just another damned lie leftists tell. The majority of Americans don't want to see any further restrictions on their rights to own and possess firearms. BREAKING: America Tells Obama To Shove It In This Overwhelming Rebuke On A HUGE Issue "To say the shift in opinion is radical is not an understatement." Norvell Rose April 20, 2015 In what must surely be a stunning setback for the president and his gun-control allies who keep pushing for stricter measures on the personal ownership and use of firearms, a major new survey shows that America says, basically, “forget about it.” The Washington Examiner reports on a new poll from Pew Research Center that finds support for Americans’ gun rights is now at its highest point in the past quarter-century. “Exactly two years after President Obama’s bid for gun control following the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting died in Congress, a new poll has discovered a huge shift in public opinion to backing Second Amendment gun rights and away from controlling gun ownership.” Just last week, Western Journalism told you about Obama’s pledge to “keep chipping away” at gun rights and Second Amendment protections in the face of an “unprecedented surge” in gun manufacturing in America — a surge in response to public demand for guns. As our post noted, Obama’s presidency and personal appeals for tighter restrictions on gun sales and ownership have actually proven to be extremely positive for the firearms industry. Now, with the Pew poll showing the public firmly believes that having a gun is the best way to protect against becoming a victim of crime, Obama’s anti-gun agenda appears to be backfiring big time. “To say the shift in opinion is radical is not an understatement. It follows a short period where Americans were torn over gun ownership, but eventually sided with gun rights groups during the Obama years.” Among the internals of the Pew Research analysis of Americans’ changing thoughts about guns is this interesting tidbit: “Support for gun control has dropped most dramatically among whites who see crime on the rise – just 37% of those who now say crime is increasing say they favor stricter gun control, compared with 78% who said the same in 1990.” Given the political capital that President Obama and his avid gun-control allies have invested in trying to restrict Second Amendment rights, this latest shift in public opinion would seem to indicate that Americans find the president’s pleas on this hot-button issue increasingly irrelevant. It should also help explain why you will likely see few, if any, candidates for high elected office talking about gun control as we move deeper into the 2016 election cycle. http://www.westernjournalism.com/breaking-america-tells-obama-to-shove-it-in-this-shocking-rebuke-to-a-big-presidential-push/ IP: Logged |

I like how I mention the Sandy Hook incident, and no one has a response for that. Instead, 'let's quote Sarah Palin as a credible source who has a number of problematic issues behind her.' That source posted is also not credible either. IP: Logged |

Leftists would be much more dangerous if they actually knew what they were talking about. But, a track record of ignorance going back decades means that's probably not going to happen.The plan by O'Bomber, through the BATF, to ban some ammunition didn't happen. But, that was the plan and that plan was announced. This dust-up didn't happen because some idiot gun grabber made an offhand comment which was overheard. The BATF formally announced a BATF proposal to ban ammunition. "The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives this month revealed that it is proposing to put the ban on 5.56 mm ammo on a fast track, immediately driving up the price of the bullets and prompting retailers, including the huge outdoors company Cabela's, to urge sportsmen to urge Congress to stop the president." http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/obama-to-ban-bullets-by-executive-action-threatens-top-selling-ar-15-rifle/article/2560750 "let's quote Sarah Palin as a credible source who has a number of problematic issues behind her." Sarah Palin IS a credible source. Palin has been kicking leftist ass since the Marxist Messiah attempted to denigrate her with the comment...McCain has chosen a small town Alaskan Mayor as his running mate. If the main stream media had devoted even 10% of the time and energy on O'Bomber that they expended on trying to destroy Palin, O'Bomber would never have infested the White House. In fact, there's not one elected leftist who could have withstood the examination Palin not only withstood but thrived on. ![](http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/biggrin.gif) You have to admire a women who cuts out the middle-men and goes out to shoot her own steaks, roasts and ribs for the family dinner table. Palin has no "problematic issues", past or present. That leftist loons screech, howl, whine and shriek at the mention of Sarah Palin is no problem whatsoever. ![](http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/biggrin.gif) IP: Logged |

December 14th 2012. You were posting here as though you believed that it was a false flag, to take away those guns: http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/Forum29/HTML/000312.html So were others, only one name that surprised me there. Alex Jones and his followers wouldn't leave the parents alone in their grief, and they STILL believe that it was all fake. Yet you are happy to throw around false ideas of "baby killers" knowing full well that nobody is running out to get pregnant, so that they can have the "joy" of murdering a baby in the ninth month. I know someone whose baby was born and died within hours - that was end of life care, that was slammed by trump and others as "letting the baby be born, and then deciding whether or not to kill it." The baby wasn't going to survive, no matter what they did, so they held their little girl until she died. Sick and twisted republicans using anything you can, to try to gain control over women, to make little girls mothers, because it's what YOU choose. No pre-natal care, because hey, that's welfare. No guaranteed health care for the first few years of life, once the baby is born, because that's also welfare. But forcing women to wait until that clump of cells forms into a baby, so they have no choice? You're fine with that. IP: Logged |

Just let people keep murdering kids, as long as you keep your guns. As long as YOU keep YOUR rights. When it comes to women and their bodies, you're ready to remove all rights. I heard the NRA wasn't doing so well financially anymore. Oh, well. "Thoughts and prayers." Babies lives matter - until they are actually murdered, and with a gun. Then it's a false flag, conjured up by the government, to take away your weapons. You throw around rhetoric about people wanting to murder babies, republican lies, and you tell me that I need to get a clue. I don't remember Jesus conjuring up an assault rifle, to defend himself. Take away abortion rights, and you won't stop abortion. You'll just lose more girls and women as they take desperate measures. But their lives don't matter to those of you voting to have their rights over their bodies, taken away. IP: Logged |
