NO GOOD NEWS FOR GUN OWNERS NATIONALLY.
(LOCAL
RACE INFO HERE)
Short of Divine intervention, gun owners in
America face a Presidential election with no hope of electing
a candidate who supports gun rights.
Abuses
by BATFE continue unabated under George Bush, and no one
likely to succeed him has any interest in putting a stop to
it.
While all the major remaining candidates have given lip
service to gun rights, the only consistently pro-gun candidate,Dr
Ron Paul has been ridiculed and marginalized by the media
and his own party.
Be prepared to defend your gun rights locally and nationally.
John McCain,
whose explosive temper
is legendary,joined Senator
Ginny Burdick in 2000, to spend millions from "Americans
For Gun Safety" in an effort to destroy gun shows in Oregon.
John McCain sponsored an amendment to S. 1805 on March 2, 2004
that would outlaw the private sale of firearms at gun shows
nationwide.
Priding himself on his ethics and "straight talk"
McCain never talks about his role in the Keating
5 scandal.
McCain appeared onscreen in many theaters, urging people to
keep their self defense firearms locked up and useless.
McCain said he was open to voting for an assault weapon ban,
depending on the details.
Source: Los Angeles Times, “McCain
Calls for Hearings” Aug 17, 1999.
McCain sponsored legislation to destroy First Amendment
rights under the guise of "campaign
finance reform."
Barack
Obama who maintained a lengthy relationship with
a racist "minister,"cosponsored a bill to limit handgun
purchases to one a month. He voted  against
allowing people to violate local weapons bans in cases of self-defense

will continue to be on record as opposing concealed carry."

Obama also has maintained close ties and received extensive
financial support from Tony
Rezko.
Principles that Obama supports on gun issues:
Ban the sale or transfer of all forms of semi-automatic weapons.
Increase state restrictions on the purchase and possession of
firearms.
Require manufacturers to provide child-safety locks with firearms.

"The
second area which may be fought by the NRA, but I think has
to be looked at is the availability of 19-round clips. I'm a
strong believer in the rights of hunters and sportsmen to have
firearms. I'm a believe in homeowners having a firearms to protect
their home and their family. It's hard for me to find a rationale
for a 19-clip semi-automatic. "
Obama said this about small town gun owners:
“And it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they
cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t
like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment
as a way to explain their frustrations.”
Hillary
Clinton whose connections with scandals
are too numerous to list,wants to bring back her husband's ban
on modern rifles and shotguns."I
... think we should reinstate the assault weapons ban (that
expired in 2004) in order  to
give our police officers a fighting chance against the criminals
on the street with these military-style assault weapons,
She
opposed a bill to protect gun dealers and manufactures from
frivolous lawsuits.
Clinton supports "ballistic fingerprinting," licensing
and testing of handgun owners, and a national registry of handguns.
