President Barack Obama - A Gun Owner's Worst Nightmare

If you're not thrilled with the idea of having John McCain as the next President of the United States, you're not alone. He's angered gun owners for years with nonsensical anti-gun votes and support for so-called "campaign finance reform," which has done little except limit free speech and curtail grassroots political activism.

But would you prefer President Barack Obama? Obama is without doubt the single most anti-gun candidate to ever seek the office of President. By word and deed, he has consistently, without exception, worked to trash the Second Amendment and do away with guns and gun rights altogether.

I know you might not like either of these candidates. But politics is about dealing with reality. And the reality is this: The next President of the United States will be McCain or Obama.

Does that irritate you? It irritates me. But that's the way it is.

Buckeye Firearms Association has presented plenty of information about John McCain and his less than perfect record on gun rights. He has called for GOP "tolerance" for closing so-called gun show loopholes, supported bans on "cheap guns" and certain assault weapons, and sought to restrict gun access for youths.

But he's not a hopeless case. He voted against holding gun manufacturers liable for gun crimes, voted against the Brady Bill, voted against background checks at gun shows, and opposed D.C.'s gun ban.

Whatever you think of John McCain, he's not a gun owner's worst nightmare. Barack Obama is.

For the rest of the article and a summary of Obama's anti gun record please vist

I've forwarded your concerns to the writer regarding this Shotar. He said he will look into it and appreciates your concerns. Bear in mind this article does favor MacCain over Obama.

Let's just hope the Electoral Votes swing this election to McCain. The results of the 2008 election won't be official until the President of the Senate counts the votes out loud at a special joint session of Congress held on January 6, 2009.


Total: 538; Majority Needed to Elect: 270

It's rather a no brainer between the two.  If nothing else, future US Supreme Court justices are on the line.

I hope that everyone is paying attention to their local US HoR contests...and their Ohio Legislature candidates too.

Probably the best tactic, rather than arguing with Obama-fanatics, is to get people who believe as we do to the polls if they usually don't vote.  This may require helping a bit to get them registered if need be.

McCain is going to need money too, Obama is raking in funds though the internet.

I'm not rich, but I plan on sending some funds...10-20 bucks would help.

Obama had a commercial stating that there are 60 million handguns and it's time to put an to that.  I won't vote for the Islamic communist.  Can you imagine Hitlery Clinton as a supreme court justice.  The last thing we need is a Muslim president who will try to disarm us and weaken the military so his Islamic terrorist friends can make our infidel lives a real hell.

I got an email from the RNC stating this will be a scary scenario with six justices over the age of 70 who could either resign or die.  Hopefully Ruth Bader Meinhoff Ginsburgh or Breyer will drop dead and McCain will replace them.

This is a repetition of 1976 when Carter got into the White House and messed up this country and it took Ronald Reagan more than two years to end the Carter caused recession.  Obama rose thru the ranks too fast and it worries me when he is getting Chinese and Arab money to finance his campaign.

The presidential primary season is finally over, and it is now time for gun owners to take a careful look at just where apparent nominee Barack Obama stands on issues related to the Second Amendment.
