GUNS AND HUNTING – “I am a lifetime member of the NRA, I support our Constitutional right to bear arms and am a proponent of gun safety programs for Alaska’s youth….I have always strongly supported the personal use of fish and game by Alaskans. I grew up hunting and fishing in Alaska, and I am proud to raise my children with this same uniquely Alaskan heritage. … Anti-hunting groups who oppose hunting and fishing rights will be the winners if we allow them to pit us against ourselves….As an Alaskan with strong beliefs on this issue, I am confident in my ability to build consensus among diverse user groups and reconcile the many competing interests in a manner.” (Source)

Obama and Biden

The Obama/Biden ticket is the most anti-gun presidential campaign in recent memory. In Obama, you have a former board member of the Joyce Foundation who steered millions of dollars towards gun-control groups. He’s touted his support for bans on handguns and a 500 percent increase on taxes for guns and ammunition, and has called for bans on ammunition (including some of the most popular hunting ammunition).

His running mate, Joe Biden, is a career anti-gun politician. Remember 1994? Remember those dark days when the Clinton administration and their cronies in Congress banned semi-automatic firearms based entirely on cosmetic features? Guess who was one of those most responsible for that gun ban? None other than Joe Biden.

Biden has consistently voted against your Second Amendment rights as a U.S. senator, and Obama’s made it clear that his vision of the Right to Keep and Bear Arms is meaningless. This pair, if elected, would be the biggest threat to your firearm freedoms in decades, and that’s with the recent decision in the Heller case. We can’t afford to stay home on Election Day, and we can’t afford to stay silent between now and then. It’s our job to speak up and speak out about the Obama/Biden ticket so that every gun owner is aware of what’s at stake … nothing less than the continued exercise of our Right to Keep and Bear Arms.

And as we have come to expect of him, Barack Obama lies……

On gun rights, Freddoso points out that Obama stated on national television that the recent Heller decision was “in line with his own view” on gun rights. Nothing could be further
According to a 1996 questionnaire he filled out while running for the Illinois Senate, Obama promised to support a ban on “the manufacture, sale and possession of handguns.” Even though Obama’s handwriting appeared on the questionnaire, Obama’s campaign would earlier this year that his staff filled it out and he was completely unaware of the answer he had given.

You don’t have to go back that far to find Obama taking an extreme stance against gun rights. In 2004, while running for the U.S. Senate, he promised to bar citizens nationwide from receiving concealed-carry permits. The Chicago Tribune reported then that Obama “backed federal legislation that would ban citizens from carrying weapons, except for law enforcement.” Obama explained his plan to pre-empt state concealed-carry laws with a federal bill: “National legislation,” Obama said at the time, “will prevent other states’ flawed concealed-weapons laws from threatening the safety of Illinois residents.”

   Problem being, Palin is a Vice-Presidential canidate. Mccain, at best, has been lukewarm on the subject. He’s flip-flopped before, and he’s courted the left plenty of times. Now that he’s picked her, will he really listen to her on the important issues, or use her as window-dressing for his own campaign?

   Good question Scott and actually touches on something I have been wanting to post on. The left dis Palin as a bone thrown to women. Well, her nomination could also be seen as a bone thrown to the conservative base. We are so elated over her outstanding conservative credentials, but those aren’t McCain’s credentials – he is pro-illegal, pro cap and trade and behind the climate nonsense.

   The question comes back. – would it be better for Obama to screw up the next four years so we can beat them down in 2012, but, then, I ask, will we be able to recover from the damage Obama will do? No matter how wonderful Palin is, McCain still sucks.
   I’m too frightened about what Obama will do with free speech to take the chance of his winning, but, who knows, McCain has given lip service to squashing the Fairness Doctrine, but his record on free speech says otherwise.
   We are just simply in a real fight for the next four years, a real bloody fight.
