The National Rifle Association announced plans today for a $40M campaign to paint Barack Obama as an opponent to Second Amendment rights. But the effort, first reported by Politico , doesn't include -- at least as far as the NRA is specifiying publicly -- a firm pitch for the presumptive GOP nominee, John McCain . The group is still withholding its endorsement, a vital seal of approval for the party's conservative base and a nod that matters to voters in rural swing states, such as New Hampshire and Virginia. Andrew Arulanandam , the NRA's director of public affairs, said the organization will make an endorsement decision after the GOP convention in MN. "We’ll let you know when the time comes what we decide to do," he told On Call. Arulanandam noted that in recent history the NRA has twice decided not to endorse the Republican nominee for president: George H.W. Bush in 1992 and Bob Dole in 1996. McCain, who received a C+ rating from the NRA in 2004 (the group's most recent scorecard), has voted for legislation to close the gun show loophole, and his support for campaign finance reform also goes against the NRA's platform. "If you look at his record he’s had a good record with us," Arulanandam said. "He’s voted against gun bans. He’s voted against ammunition bans. He’s voted against waiting periods." Arulanandam said Obama's comment tentatively praising the Supreme Court's decision last week to strike down the District of Columbia' ... Source: www.mcall.com --- 20 days ago

The Supreme Court's ruling last week to lift the ban of handguns in Washington, D.C., households is the first ever to determine that the Second Amendment guarantees individuals the right to own guns. While the judicial branch took more than 200 years to rule on the issue, the National Rifle Association (NRA) has spent years developing a relationship with the legislative branch. For the past decade, the NRA has lobbied and contributed heavily to congressional candidates, mostly Republicans, on behalf of gun rights. In the 2006 election cycle, the group donated $947,600 to federal candidates, parties and committees, and its political action committee spent nearly $2 million on independent expenditures , or ads and other political activity supporting or opposing candidates, putting the association on CRP's list of Heavy Hitters . In the last presidential election cycle, the NRA gave $1.2 million to federal candidates and its PAC spent $7 million on independent expenditures. The organization has yet to reach such numbers in this presidential election cycle, giving $640,600 to federal candidates and spending less than $200,000 on independent expenditures through May of this year. That is likely to change, though, as Politico reports that the NRA is planning to spend approximately $40 million in order to publicly define presidential candidate Barack Obama as a supporter of "Chicago-style gun control," despite his endorsement of yesterday's ru ...

Over the 4th of July weekend the LAME STREAM MEDIA has launched an assault on Barack Obama by planting a very dangerous meme into the minds of America. What does the NRA, the REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE, CNN, the DETROIT NEW, and the NEW YORK TIMES, have in common? These media outlets are aiding and abetting the political machine of the Republican National Committee and the National Rifle Association by using language to suggest assassination of Presidential Candidate Barack Obama on INDEPENDENCE DAY!! This is TREASON, and if not should be. To imply Obama is a TARGET in this time in our history is the lowest political trick imaginable. HEADS SHOULD ROLL OVER THIS BLATANT USE OF OUR MEDIA IN SUCH A TRANSPARENT WAY. BOOO, BOOO, BOOO!!!!! Chris Cox of the NRA, Patrick Healy of the New York Times, Brian Todd, CNN Washington Bureau, and Gordon Trowbridge of the Detroit News Washington Bureau are all UN-AMERICAN for the premeditated assault. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/04/us/politics/04strategy.html?ref=politics , http://www.detnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080703/POLITICS01/807030366/&imw=Y , http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalradar/2008/07/rnc-plans-ad-as.html , You can reach Gordon Trowbridge at (202) 662-8738 or gtrowbridge@detnews.com. » original news ...
