Vote 'NObama' to preserve gun rights

  • Follow Letters

Never in the history of this country has the Second Amendment been under such attack as it is today.

The freedom to purchase and own a firearm, either for self protection or sport enjoyment, is little by little being carved away by liberal lawmakers and judges. Moreover, the threat to our freedom protected by the Second Amendment will quickly accelerate if Barack Obama becomes the next president.

Since he became an elected official, Mr. Obama has supported overly burdensome regulations and bans on firearms and ammunition at every level. Obama also supports banning gun sellers from existing within a five mile radius of a school or park, which would eliminate virtually every gun dealer across our country.

Barack Obama, like Hungarian-born political financier George Soros, the single richest anti-gun machine in the world, dreams of a great American gun round up. Barack Obama is a friend to the anti-gun machines in America and Europe.

Don't let him attempt to convince you otherwise. You can be sure that Obama will nominate like-minded liberal judges to the Supreme Court. Additionally, he will encourage stronger legislation to cripple gun ownership and the firearm industry.

This is why it is so important for all gun owners to vote in November and vote NObama.

For Pete's sake, what you guys won't come up with to scare people into voting for the same old same old we been having. Replacing Bush with McCain is like replacing Curly with Shemp. The dialogues the same, just played by an older stiffer vaudeville has been. The Supreme has spoken. No one will take our guns from us. Sheesh, can't you guys come up with some substance? Folks out your way must be pretty lame.

I agree, with Mr. Morris and it will all be done in the NAME OF THE CHILDREN -- we need to worry about keeping this country free for our children and protect gun rights. Most of the people talking about gun control are walking around with armed guards. When guns are outlawed only outlaws will have guns. I think the present guns laws are too restrictive for law abiding citizens with no criminal record.

cyou299 -- People should be scared -- you should be scared -- we live in scary times -- we are having trouble with the stock market -- we have our government taking over private companies like AGI -- this is a move toward Socialism -- I am scared to think what Obama would do. What is his idea of CHANGE? Would it be to nationalize the oil companies and healthcare -- affordably gas and health care for everyone? I am afraid if he gets in we will become the USSA (United Socialist States of America). Take from the rich and give to the poor. WWIII is knocking on our door with all the economic problems in the world -- do you really think Obama can deal with these problems? I think his answer to the problems will be more socialism. I don't think we will have the same old same old no matter who gets elected -- economic problems are forcing change on us whether we want it or not and the question is who can best deal with the changes that are forced upon us?

I read where Russia and Cuba were having some sort of joint military exercise off the coast of Florida and last week during the gasoline panic here in Augusta -- someone made a comment on the newspaper web site -- they were concerned Russia and Cuba might invade Florida -- I thought it an unrealistic fear. Then I thought -- what would stop them? Most of our Military is scattered around the world protecting other countries. The world is kind'a crazy now and I think anything is possible. There is a remote possibility this country could be invaded and we the people are the last line of defense. I don't think any gun restriction should be placed on honest law abiding citizens that don't have criminal records. I think restriction should be place on people that have criminal records and non-citizens. In this day and age with the technology we have police offices know when they stop someone if they have a criminal record or are not a US citizen.

BTurner, Don't be scared, people shouldn't be scared. Remember who is in charge of this world and the "WORD" he gave us, "fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul" ...Matthew 10:28 "Fear not" is repeated at least 62 times.

Concerning Russia and Cuba might invade Florida, they ain't that crazy, they know our citizens are armed or should be.

There are, it seems, a growing list of why Americans should not vote Obama but many still will not take off the blinders to see him for what he truly is; a greedy, power-hungry, bordering on criminal alliance inept politician....Agree potwe and a huge Amen...

This single issue is indicative of the general Marxist mind set of Obama. Many people fall for the manifesto concept, even with the dozens of examples of failure history holds for us. I feel this is an intended consequence of the dumbing down of our school system by those who feel the masses want to be controlled and taken care of so they can spend more time enjoying their life. "Security equals freedom" is the thief in the night.

C'mon guys, I voted for Bush twice and I will certainly vote for McCain. But Republicans aren't 100% right and Democrats aren't 100% wrong. I do have numerous reasons that are issue related for not voting for Obama but I don't think he is the Antichrist. While it's kinda fun here to post all of our one sided arguments for the candidate of our choice, perhaps we should get a little more in step with reality. We all claim we need bipartianship to solve the problems facing us but how can that be?

christian134

14PUTT your very right in the way many, I myself included at times, will seek to be all Republican or all Democrat...That is wrong...What is needed are for people to vote for the right sort of person to represent this nation and her people...People who will put their needs on the back burner and concentrate on restoring this country back to a solid foundation she was founded...Unfortunately it is not going to even begin to heal with the likes of Obama and his camp followers at the helm...

CH

14PUTT, you're right...but when you're constantly being told that by being a conservative, you're are a racist, sexist, homophobic creton who just wants to poison the Earth to make profits and care nothing for children, it is hard. All of that is pure BS. The Democrats get away with this constant stream of mislead, and the stooges in the media like Chris Matthews and Keith Olberman, certainly not unbiased jounalists, and the morons in Hollywood churning out movies and TV shows painting us in this unflattering light make it difficult to hold out olive branches and try to find common ground. You want proof? How about the poison being thrown at John McCain. Here's a man who served in our military for 26 years, 5 of those as a POW, tortured, kept in solitary for 2 of those years, stayed with his fellow captives and endured that Hell, now being called every name in the book. It make me sick, and the liberals get away with it. Can you imagine if a Democratic pres. candidate had this past was being attacked like this? The attackers would be crucified. JFK was not attacked like this, and he was never a POW. It makes me sick. McCain/Palin 08!!

pofwe Please, thats a stretch

Here comes the Buba chronicles, they going to take our guns away!

convertedsoutherner

There's a certain group that continues to tell us how they have been kept down most of their lives. There's the liberal media and the movie industry that come out attacking the conservatives. Well look what happens when the conservatives fight back with the truth and facts. Conservatives are called names and said to be the worst of the worst. The new mantra is 'if you don't vote for NOobama, you're racist'. He's such a small percentage of black and look how they use the race issue. They now say Sarah is more man. Well she can use a gun and probably shoots better than NObama/NObiden.

Delirious58

Oh, yes, let's keep the guns around, so maybe your little girl or boy can get it and ACCIDENTLY shoot you or maybe you accidently shoot your friend like Dick Chaney did.

donnymack

Well it certainly won't heal with hypcrites like you134. Iwould like to know why people come up with this bull do-do about gun control. Bryon Morris my question to you is where did your facts come from,or are they just scare tactics because the Beauty and the Beast team is sliding in the polls. Everyone knows that the good old boys will never lose there firearms,myself included. Both parties play on people that are uninformed with actuallity and that is why gun control is popular with Repubs. The big issue is automatic weapons and armor piercing rounds that are an extreme danger to law enforcement. If you think people should be able to walk the streets with uzies and the like then you need to enlist in the Nazi Party in my opinion. Most people,myself included have firearms in thier homes for hunting,target skeet etc.There is no way I will give up my firearms,but I can't or won't support an organization that is one of the biggest lobbiest in Washington that thinks it is all right to own military type arms for the citizens. Whether you folks want to admit it or not who is behind the NRA? Do you think it might be weapons manufacturers? Of course what would they have to gain by that?

HYPOCRITES 08

OH PLEASE. No ONE IS TRYING TO TAKE YOUR bazooka, M16 grenade launcher, Tow Missile or Tank away.

christian134

Donny donny donny now settle down before you blow a gasket:-) Have a good breakfast and smile...Oh and I have always believed in the inherent right to bear arms as I have had and still have my own and it is not for skeet shooting and such...Now come on smile I know you must have one inside you somewhere....

christian134

Hey hypo how is it going? I hope in all genuineness you had a great week at the department...My son called to inform me of a huge apartment fire they had to fight and he was upset as he lost his first baby before the paramedics could arrive...

Serioun

I am glad to hear that tone of fear in your voice. And you are correct, we will continue to "whittle" at gun rights until they are in line with the 21st century. It's not Obama, it's the people. There are intirely to many guns on the streets of America in the hands of instable people. You gun rights people were "greedy". It wasn't enough you had guns for protection and hunting, but you want assault weapons too!! Blame yourselves for being greedy and out of line. And yes, Obama will be the next president. The voices of many will drown out the voices of the few who were raised in households of racial bigiots with the theroy of "Me, Me, Me." That in itself was not so bad, but you lacked the intelligence to change, and now you are in the minority. Your constitution theroy is washed up and your bear arms for protection is lame. We are powerful not because of what is strapped to our hip or what is hid in the trunk of our cars, but because what is on our minds. Think yourselves out of some situations, try it you might like it!!

christian134

Lets hope and pray that Obama goes the way of the extinct dodo bird Serioun and that people of this nation realize that a man seeking office would say "Sorry" to the people for their financial woes but turns around and pledges 50 billion dollars to the United Nations to help world hunger...That is over the top even for this inept 1st term Senator who has done nothing about nothing...

oj2, remember, if you will.

Thank you all for a good Saturday morning laugh. The American economy is going to hell in a handbasket, people are losing their houses, jobs and 401ks and you're worrying about your guns! What good is the 2nd amendment if you don't have the money to buy a gun or a home to protect. So by all means let's keep the folks in office that got us in this mess so you can keep those guns! And please continue to spread all those lies about Obama and how mean we dems are and how nice Karl Rove and repubs are - it helps keep me motivated.

factchecker

Has anyone beides me noticed that the Democrats are very "compasionate" when they can use other people's money to do so? Look at Obama and how much he has personally donated and how much more than that he wants to make all of us donate.

RichmondCountyResident1

I can't understand, why the Chronicle would print such nonsense. It seems, as if they will print anything, to convince people to support John McCain. I own several guns and I will be voting for Obama during the early voting period. This same cast, can talk till they are blue in the face. May I suggest, christian and Converted Southerner in particular, get a life . You aren't convincing no one to change their vote. Come November fourth, we will show you!!! OBAMA/BIDEN 08 & 12!!!!

owensjef2

No thanks Pat, Florida State has a big game tonight.

mafiadon

Hey people,this isn't France or England or any other third world country so what's to worry. This country was born with the gun and will have guns forever,and don't be fooled by any BS laws that the government wants to impose on John Q Citizen to take your guns away,like I can't replace it,yeah right in the blink of an eye and with the almighty dollar anything can happen,where do you think the bad guys get their guns ? Be a responsible gun owner and if it's not on your person LOCK IT UP ! and then maybe,just maybe the gov. will cut us gun owners some slack,andif all else fails join the NRA. Think of this when you go to the poles in November,which liar will I vote for,which one will protect the people here in the USA. Think about people that don't have any medical,people that are really starving and people that don't have a roof over their head,and think of all the broken promises that were made by other broken down politicans that never came to be ! And while I'm at it,where's the gas you ask ? It's in Washington sitting in Congress and the Senate where else do you think it would be, and we put these gas passers there,so THINK in November.

willistontownsc

Gun shops cannot tell a criminal from a citizen. Especially if the gun owner has threatened someone else's life and he doesn't have a criminal record. We need to slice up all that pork money we are sending to Iraq and use it to get more officers out on our streets. McCain is no friend of victim rights and he has turned a blind eye to people who are victims of gun violence -- especially those who are victims of domestic violence. That is why I am supporting Obama. If it was Mott the Hopple on the ballot against McCain, I'd vote for Mott. No way. No how. No McCain.

CH

Hi Williston...I see you're up to your usual liberal rants. Here is a fact that I bet you didn't hear about in the media. When Owbama was an IL legislator, there was a "3 strikes you're out" bill for convicted felons coming up for vote. He didn't want to vote for it, fearing it would anger the African-American vote in IL. He didn't want to vote against it, fearing he would anger those advocating stronger penalties against repeat offenders. What does Owbama do? You guessed it...he voted "present." Now, how is that for decisive action. Yep, that's the kind of strong leader we need as president. I can see it now...President Owbama doesn't want to lift the sanctions against Cuba...but he doesn't want to say he's for extending them until there is reform in that tyranical country. Yeah, that's some kind of change we can believe in! When I was in the navy, we used to say about then President Clinton, "Trying to get a straight answer out of him is like trying to put socks on an octopus!" I'd say that applies perfectly to Owbama as well! McCain/Palin 08!!

Serioun

This country was also born the right to own slaves, no rights for women to vote, segregated schools unequals legislative represnation theroies. Maybe you should actual read the constitution before you quote. We've changed, get on board of sit down. OBAMA 2008!!!

mable8

Obama asked the MidEast leaders not to push for the US exit of military personnel until AFTER HE WAS ELECTED; his plan is to wait three years, then remove the troops so he can be glorified as the "savior" in this fiasco. That rather fits with his pushing for eliminating the Second Amendment. It also fits with his German speech that the "Germans, like the US, needs to redistribute its wealth." Voting for Obama is like inviting the plague into your living room just so you could sit back and watch your family sicken and die.
