Wow, the NRA thinks we are actually dumb enough to believe that pack of lies, huh?

In 35-second video posted online Tuesday night, the NRA criticizes Obama for accepting armed Secret Service protection for his daughters, Sasha and Malia, at their private Washington, D.C., school while questioning the placement of similar security at other schools.

“Are the president’s kids more important than yours? Then why is he skeptical about putting armed security in our schools, when his kids are protected by armed guards at their school?” the narrator says.

“Mr. Obama demands the wealthy pay their fair share of taxes, but he’s just another elitist hypocrite when it comes to a fair share of security,” it continues. “Protection for their kids and gun-free zones for ours.”

The immediate family members of U.S. presidents – generally considered potential targets – have long received Secret Service protection.

The ad appeared on a new website for a NRA advocacy campaign – “NRA Stand and Fight” — that the gun-rights group appears poised to launch in response to Obama’s package of gun control proposals that will be announced today.

You have to be real scumbags to bring his daughters in this even if they have to have SS protection whether they want it or not.

I caught that reading the Washington Post last night. Idjits, indeed. They sure are sounding more desperate and batshit crazy than ever, since Newtown. Too bad because the NRA could have been a willing partner in the revamp of our gun laws. As others have already said, the NRA has seized to be a gun owners and hunters group and been totally turned into a gun manufacturers trade group.

Maybe it is time for our fellow citizens who hunt and collect guns to form an organization that reflects their own values. To my mind the NRA has passed in to irrelevance and as Boreas has said, a paper tiger in the political arena.

Unfortunately, many of us are just that, Carl.

I was in a Meijers big box store today with the wife. Walked over just to see what ammo was available. Must of been an impromptu meeting of the wing nut club going on in the sporting goods department. A group of five guys all pissed that Obama is buying up all the ammo????

Felt sorry for the fellow behind the counter having to smile and listen to all the conspiracy theories. Listen for awhile made a few comments was outnumbered but unafraid of them. They are laughable in their arguments, so uninformed or having the talking points from Fox or Angry Man radio.

BTW only hand gun rounds left were 38 special. Two boxes at $20.00/fifty each.

The only thing I'm really afraid of is that gun seizures will become a self-fulfilling prophecy. The longer the gun lobby goes on fighting even the most mild attempt to rein in out of control proliferation, the bigger the problem gets. The bigger the problem gets, the more likely that draconians measure will have to be taken at some point in the future. Especially if someone in the gun toting citizen-militia world starts seriously fomenting violent revolution. No government on earth would sit idly by and let that grow. Ours either.

Why don't these people see that? Are they really this short-sighted?

The Democrats are using a national tragedy as ammunition to lash out at
the NRA and anyone who supports it because they are a "thorn in their side".
It's not about protecting American citizens or children at all and never will
be. It's an attack against the NRA and anyone who voted against them.
You know it and I know it.

[BlueStreak]

No. You're wrong. And, it's that paranoid mentality that's
ripping this country in half. Stop it.

I don't know it, and I'm sorry for us all if too many people believe as you do. Don't you think that it is possible that people were genuinely moved by the tragedy? I believe that many many people have been becoming more and more frustrated by the continuing litany of such tragedies. Taking a position contrary to a particular interest group is not punishing that group, but it it is making policy choices that other interests are more important. It is the NRA that avowedly punishes those who disagree with it. It sounds to me like you are projecting.
