(27,993 posts)47. Basically, the NRA issued a General Call for Preemptive Action....
In the world of RW gunner asshattery, the NRA is the Sinn Fein of the spectrum - the sensible, politically engaged arm of the movement. When they issue statements like this, it's tantamount to a call to arms:
Obamas Secret Plan To Destroy The Second Amendment By 2016
by Wayne LaPierre, NRA Executive Vice President
If you want a glimpse of a genuine nightmare for America, just look at whats headed our way.
But unlike a nightmare, this isnt some fantasy. Its a very real, very dangerous conspiracy of public deception intended to destroy your Right to Keep and Bear Arms. Its targeted directly at you.

Over the past three years, the Obama administration and its anti-gun allies have been engaged in a silent but sophisticated long-term conspiracy to:
1. Neutralize gun owners and NRA voters as a political force in national elections, and thereby:
2. Win re-election to a second term in the White House, where they then will be immune to the will of voters and free to continue consolidating and misusing their ever-increasing power to:
3. Prosecute a full-scale, sustained, all-out campaign to excise the Second Amendment from our Bill of Rights through legislation, litigation, regulation, executive orders, judicial fiat, international treatiesin short, all the levers of power of all three branches of government.
...
But thats just a diversion to distract you from their true beliefs and objectives.
Think about it: Before moving into the White House, Barack Obama spent his entire career proudly, publicly advancing the most radical anti-gun positions you can imagine.

...
Yet so far, President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder have done nothing but shrug their shoulders, shirk responsibility and stonewall the investigations at every turn, as if Americans shouldnt care that a massive criminal enterprise seems to have been run right out of our own Justice Department, just to set the stage for a future Obama gun ban.
