Phony Gun Endorsement

Posted by Alan Korwin On May - 28 - 2008

The lamestream media told you:

The American Hunters and Shooters Association, a mainstream gun-owner group, has endorsed Sen. Obama for his reasonable positions on gun control. The Senator has repeatedly said he supports the second amendment.

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:

The American Hunters and Shooters Association, a Brady-endorsed anti-gun-rights group pretending to be a pro-rights group, wants people to believe gun owners are leaning toward Barack H. Obama. This is the man who, in a 1996 candidate questionnaire declared his support for a complete ban on the manufacturing, sale and possession of handguns and undefined “assault weapons.” In Pennsylvania recently he said, “I am not in favor of concealed weapons.” AHSA believes that would be “reasonable, common-sense” gun policy, just like D.C.’s supporters of a total ban on any working firearm in your own home. Why any gun owners in their right mind would support such positions was unexplained at press time.
