NRA Goes After Obama

As I expected, the NRA has gone after Mr. Obama with a new ad, as the homestretch of the election is in sight. With football on TV and hunting season coming up, the timing is perfect for their message. Despite their disdain for Mr. Obama, the NRA has not endorsed Mr. McCain.

While the exact claims of the ad can be quibbled over(here is the objections and here is a response to them) it is generally understood that Mr. Obama is generally less supportive of gun rights, to say the least, and would like to see more gun control passed. What he would have the votes for may be another story, as Democrats learned their lesson when their ludicrous "Assault Weapon Ban" helped to cost them their congressional majority.

The ad makes a passing reference to a quote by Mr. Obama which disparaged gun owners and the religious. Don't expect it to be the most subtle or the last reference to what sums up many people's objections to Mr. Obama.
