Wayne LaPierre, the legendary, combative executive vice president of the National Rifle Association, is known for his bold pronouncements. And today, speaking to the Conservative Political Action Conference, LaPierre pledged that the NRA’s 4 million members — and the 100 million gun owners in America — will make President Obama an ex-president in November.

“The fight is on and the NRA is all in,” LaPierre said. “When the sun goes down on election day, Obama will have America’s gun owners to thank for his defeat.”

Though he claimed that the Obama administration was restraining its anti-gun policies for a possible second term, he also gave specific examples of Obama’s past political actions that could shed light on his opinions toward the constitutional right to bear arms.

“He’s endorsed a total ban on the manufacture and sale and possession of all handguns. He endorsed a ban on the sale and transfer of all semi-automatic firearms. He backed a 500 percent increase that federal taxes on guns and ammunition. He voted to ban single-shot, over, under and side-by-side shotguns. He said the right of lawful citizens to carry a firearm for personal protection should be banned nation wide. In fact, he supported efforts to prohibit Americans from keeping a gun in their homes for self defense. He did all of those things when he thought gun owners in this country didn’t matter.”
