Reply #35: Did you read the NRA magazines? [View All]

[aikoaiko]

I did the NRA and they attacked Obama's previous and 2008 campaign positions on guns (and not on other issues). Albeit on several things the NRA took kernels of truth and exaggerated them wildly.

Even Obama promised to seek to reauthorize the AWB.

I am sure that when Obama and his administration saw the massive surge in gun and ammo buying they realized that gun owners were motivated to protect their access to popular firearms to the point of spending serious cash during a recession. I am sure that sent a message of warning about what would happen at the polls should they actually reauthorize the AWB or other stupid gun control legislation.
