NRA official: Obama wants to outlaw guns in 2nd term
By Sean Lengell February 10, 2012, 03:41PM

A top official with the National Rifle Association said Friday that President Obama will move to "destroy" gun rights and "erase" the Second Amendment if he is re-elected in November.

While delivering one of the liveliest and best-received speeches at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre said the president's low-key approach to gun rights during his first term was "a conspiracy to ensure re-election by lulling gun owners to sleep."

"All that first term, lip service to gun owners is just part of a massive Obama conspiracy to deceive voters and hide his true intentions to destroy the Second Amendment during his second term," he said.

"We see the president's strategy crystal clear: Get re-elected and, with no more elections to worry about, get busy dismantling and destroying our firearms' freedom, erase the Second Amendment from the Bill of Rights and excise it from the U.S. Constitution."

Mr. LaPierre said the president's two Supreme Court appointees — Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan— are "two of the most rabid anti-gun justices in history." He also accused Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg of being a foe of gun rights.

And with the possibility of two or more Supreme Court justice positions opening during the next four years, the NRA official warned that gun ownership would be in jeopardy if Mr. Obama stays in office.

"If we get one more like those three, the Second Amendment is finished," he said. "It'll be the end of our freedom forever."

Mr. LaPierre, who said "there is no greater freedom than to own a firearm," predicted that gun owners will rally en masse to defeat Mr. Obama in November.

"All of what we know is good and right about America, all of it could be lost if Barrack Obama is re-elected," he said. "It's all or nothing."

Another scare tactic. Before Andrew Jackson was elected president his opponents villified him to the point that women hid their bibles fearing that the army would confiscate and burn them. The NRA is nothing more than a giant PAC at this point.

You said it yourself, "The president doesn't have the power to eliminate the second amendment."

so this is just like when he was going to take away your guns during his first time...all the gun manufacturers are licking their chops right now hoping for record gun sales once again.

i hate politics...if you cant see that this is clearly NRA propaganda, then you take the NRA too seriously.

trust me when i say, nothing will happen to our guns after november...no matter which idiot gets elected

I don't get wrapped up in this stuff usually but I would take that bet.

Furthermore if he does get reelected there will be some change or new restriction come down. Maybe not banish the 2nd Amend but there will be change

Last Honk

It could become very difficulties to get a gun without getting rid of the Second Amendment.

Wasn't there some BS about registered ammo as well?

This is the biggest load of crap act of congress and changing the constution not going to happen not in my life time. this is a waste of time the only thing wayne is worried about is his taxes. Republican I think so.

cndux

This is never going to happen guys!! Just a bunch of dumb F*** Republicans trying to get your votes. They will not take away our rights because of the constitution but also because the U.S makes way too much money off of the hunters to take our gun rights away.

mr89ia

while this is probably a stretch, this president certainly doesnt give two shits about our constitution

I'm not biteing the NRA does this every election year. Shouldn't be to much longer before I have to tell a NRA phone salesman hes full of it. Last call they were worried about hillary.

Just as bad as the union being so anti republican in my eyes. Same shit different year.
