Obama Calls For Government Action On Guns In The Wake Of Colorado Shooting

[Trunk Monkey]

92. Little history lesson for you

Prior to 1992 the NRA existed primarily as a shooting safety organization the 1994 “Assault Weapons” ban galvanized NRA leadership and turned them into the political juggernaut that they are today.

Bill Clinton is on record as stating that the Democrats lost the 1994 midterm elections (thereby giving control of the entire house to the Republicans for 10 years) as a DIRECT RESULT of his signing the 1994 AWB into law.

It is believed that Al Gore’s strong support for gun control cost him the 2000 election.

Prior to 1992 AR15 were considered a novelty item few serious shooters owned them after the AWB lapsed in ’04 they became the most popular firearm ever produced in America’s history.
According to the DOJ twice as many people are beaten to death w/ hands and feet as are killed w/ any type of rifle in America every year.

George Bush is on record as stating the he would sign a renewal of the AWB if congress put it on his desk in 2004. Had he done so it is very likely it would have cost him the election.

Are you absolutely certain that this is the issue you want Obama pushing in an election year?
