Gun Nuttery 1
Out of ammo:
Where these folks got the notion that their precious warm guns are in danger is beyond the rational.
Oh, yeah. False advertising. I should have known.
From FactCheck dot org. Follow the link for the full analysis:
The NRA is circulating printed material and running TV ads making unsubstantiated claims that Obama plans to ban use of firearms for home defense, ban possession and manufacture of handguns, close 90 percent of gun shops and ban hunting ammunition.
Much of what the NRA passes off as Obama’s “10 Point Plan to ‘Change’ the Second Amendment” is actually contrary to what he has said throughout his campaign: that he “respects the constitutional rights of Americans to bear arms” and “will protect the rights of hunters and other law-abiding Americans to purchase, own, transport, and use guns.”
The NRA, however, simply dismisses Obama’s stated position as “rhetoric” and substitutes its own interpretation of his record as a secret “plan.” Said an NRA spokesman: “We believe our facts.”

Whenever Chris wants to go shooting, I have to call the local places to see if they have any ammo. They do not. As soon as they get shipments in, the nuts come in & buy it all, fearing Obama’s “ban” on guns.
The ONLY thing I heard him talking about the potential for banning were the assault guns, & then he said they should be in the hands of the military or police. A stance I happen to agree with.
But I consider the NRA & its crazy members less than nuts. Combined with stupid.
