As with everything else.

Did they forget Romney once signed an assault weapons ban in MA?

What's sad, is that a number of Democrats support the NRA's gun proliferation agenda, and (at least indirectly) support their right wing agenda that is not related to guns.

That ad doesn't change a single mind about anything. It's also been photoshopped. Obama's jaw isn't a heavy wedge hanging over his shirt collar nor do his eyebrows bush over his eyes like that. His eyes are made larger too.

of stuff like this. Maybe we should start an NPO for Democrats and moderates who appreciate firearms, hunting, and shooting sports. There are tens of thousands of us out there. It would encourage responsible ownership and safety and protect the 2nd amendment. It would lessen the power of the NRA, they would no longer 'own' gun rights issues and use it as a wedge issue. There are plenty of gun owners out there who detest the policies of the GOP. There should be a non-NRA home for them.

Obama is taking our freedoms away!!!

Stupid idiots.

Despite the perception that Mr. Obama is anti-gun rights (gun shop owners say fear of his policies drives strong gun sales), he has repeatedly reaffirmed the right to bear arms. Indeed, the only gun-control laws he has signed as president have been to expand gun rights – allowing guns on national park lands and Amtrak trains. He also said this year that “hunting and shooting are part of a cherished national heritage.”
