- Employment Application
The Obama administration's employment application proves what NRA has been saying: the Obama administration is anti-firearms ownership and anti-Second Amendment.
And as this litmus test shows, they have every intention of putting together an administration that is hostile to firearms ownership and to Second Amendment rights.
One of their first official acts is to make a list of gun owners among their own employees. It proves where their hearts are. It shows what their philosophy is. This is more proof that this administration is coming after our freedom and NRA stands ready. - Steel Yourself
The inauguration of Barack Obama hasn't even taken place yet, but already the gun control advocates are demanding action from the next president. The Brady Campaign is already demanding action on a semi-auto ban ... a ban that Barack Obama supports.
We can't wait until Carolyn McCarthy or Chuck Schumer introduces a gun ban in Congress. Now's the time for us to talk to our elected representatives and remind them of the importance of our Second Amendment rights. We need to remind them that they represent the people, not the gun-ban lobby comprised of big-dollar foundations. And we should remind them what happened the last time a semi-auto ban passed through Congress. In case they forgot, let them know that the Clinton Gun Ban was responsible for huge losses for the Democratic majority in Congress.
We have strong support for the Second Amendment among some Democrats in Congress, but they will be under enormous pressure from Speaker Pelosi and others to go along with gun control proposals. Those representatives who stand with gun owners will deserve our support. Those who abandon us? They'll soon learn, once again, that Americans don't like politicians messing with their freedoms. - Reading the Tea Leaves
In the weeks before Barack Obama's inauguration, pay close attention to the discussion about who Obama will appoint for some key positions.
In particular, gun owners should be watching the names discussed for attorney general, secretary of state and head of the ATF.
The attorney general will have a lot of power in our post-Heller world, especially with the number of Second Amendment-related cases working their way through the court system. The Secretary of State will be working closely with the members of the United Nations pushing for an Arms Trade Treaty. And of course, an anti-gun ATF director could make life miserable for gun owners, even those working inside the agency.
It's not a matter of figuring out if Obama's anti-gun or not. We already know he is. What we're looking for now are signs of how aggressive he will be in trying to enact his gun control policies, and these appointments may give us real clues. - Obama's Judgment
I've heard a lot about Barack Obama's "judgment" over the past few weeks. We're supposed to believe that Senator Obama has displayed good judgment over the course of his political career. Well, by once again looking at his Second Amendment record, I think we can put that myth to rest.
Just look at a couple of the things Obama has proposed: a 500 percent increase on excise taxes for guns and ammunition, and a ban on gun stores within five miles of a school or a park. Those two measures wouldn't just decimate the firearms industry, they would kill it. That, in turn, would have a drastic effect on our military, because the same companies that sell guns to civilians are also the ones selling guns to the government. I wonder how Obama would feel about a multi-billion dollar bailout of the firearms industry, because that's what just two of his proposals would require. That's not hype or hyperbole. It's just the truth, and the truth is Obama's judgment is as bad as his Second Amendment record. - Standing Guard: Vote For The Second Amendment
In just a few days, on November 4, gun owners will be presented with a
very clear choice of a pro-Second Amendment versus an anti-Second
Amendment Presidential ticket. John McCain and Sarah Palin versus
Barack Obama and Joe Biden represents a stark contrast for the future
of our freedom.
In that choice, one fact is foremost:
The next president, by filling inevitable vacancies on the U.S.
Supreme Court, will determine the continued existence of our Right To
Keep and Bear Arms.

The city of San Francisco is cutting a check to the attorneys who fought for your Second Amendment rights in the wake of court decisions striking down the city's gun ban. Victory is sweet, and it's even sweeter when the anti-gunners who tried to take away your rights have to pay for it.
The six-figure sum means that the NRA can continue to devote more resources towards other court fights, including our lawsuit against the San Francisco Housing Authority over its gun ban in public housing. And when you donate to the NRA Civil Rights Defense Fund, you can help us take other anti-gun cities and towns to court as well. - Still Waiting
Eight months ago, on this blog, I said that I was still waiting for the mainstream media to ask Barack Obama about his positions on gun control.
I wrote:
Back in 1999, Obama called for a laundry list of gun control, including a 500 percent increase in taxes on firearms and ammunition. He called for bans of affordable handguns. He called for mandated "smart gun" technology. He demanded that FFLs not be allowed to maintain their business within five miles of a school or a park. In short, he wanted to regulate the Second Amendment out of existence.
To my knowledge, not one reporter has asked Obama about the positions he took back then. Nor have they asked him about the position he’s taking now, "supporting" the Second Amendment in speeches while refusing to sign on to the congressional amicus brief opposing the District of Columbia’s gun ban. Fifty-five of his fellow senators signed on to that brief, but Obama still pretends the issue is about "local control," not constitutional rights.
When the mainstream media refuses to ask a presidential frontrunner about his position on an issue, you can’t help but wonder why. When the issue is the Second Amendment, it can’t be because the press doesn’t like what Obama has to say. Maybe it’s just that they don’t want you to hear it.
Here it is, just days before Election Day, and the mainstream media is still covering for Barack Obama when it comes to your Second Amendment rights. Their actions are just as bad as Obama’s position. - Cleveland's 'Voluntary' Registration
Is the city of Cleveland, Ohio, still trying to enforce local gun laws that have been negated by statewide firearms pre-emption? It certainly looks that way.
The Cleveland Plain-Dealer says if people want to "voluntarily" register their guns, they can... but aren't required to do so?
If that's the case, then why is the city of Cleveland trying to prosecute gun owner Damon Wells for "possession of an unregistered handgun"? The group Buckeye Firearms Association knows all about that case. It makes you wonder why the Cleveland Plain-Dealer seems to know nothing at all about it. If there is no longer a requirement to register your guns with the city, how can the city be prosecuting someone for failing to register their firearm?
I think the Plain-Dealer owes its readers the plain truth in another story. - Silence on the Second
Do you realize we've gone through all three presidential debates, and not one moderator asked a question about the Second Amendment or the Heller case?
The biggest case the Supreme Court has handled in years doesn't merit a single question from the likes of Tom Brokaw and Jim Lehrer. The vice presidential debate was also devoid of questions about your gun rights, thanks to moderator Gwen Ifil
