Flashback to 2010: Speakers at NRA convention 'target' Washington, midterms

[onehandle]

Speakers at the National Rifle Association's annual leadership forum on Friday touted Second Amendment rights and also set their sights on the upcoming midterm elections.

Sarah Palin told the crowd in Charlotte, North Carolina, that the "lamestream media" is using propaganda to make guns seem more dangerous -- and not the criminals behind them.

Sen. John Thune, R-South Dakota, told the crowd there are two competing visions about the future of the country. "One consists of more government and less freedom, and one consists of less government and more freedom," he said. "And right now, unfortunately, the prevailing vision in Washington D.C. is that of government. More and more government."

Barbour, Palin and Thune are among those considered possible GOP presidential nominees in 2012.
