Gun Owners’ Guide to the 2012 Election.
This week, the picture is finally complete.
First, the Obama White House decided to leap headfirst into the gun control debate.
Then came the response from Congress, which is far more interested in investigating the “Fast and Furious” scandal, in which federal agents allowed thousands of guns to be “walked” into Mexico and furnished to drug cartels.
And now the final piece: President Barack Obama has filed his papers to run for re-election.
That in a nutshell is all gun owners need to know about the 2012 presidential election. After two years of avoiding the gun control debate (and violating his own campaign promises to push for additional restrictions), Obama finally is showing his true colors on this important issue. Let’s not forget that this is the same candidate who once espoused a total ban on handguns and more recently supported a nationwide ban on right-to-carry laws. And if he couldn’t get that done, he said he would support increasing the taxes on guns and ammunition by 500 percent. Now he is trying to be measured about his gun control objectives, using vague and gauzy rhetoric that his handlers hope will be difficult to hang around his neck.
