The Outdoor Wire, an outdoor sports industry resource, is reporting that Barack Obama’s prematurely-established ‘transition team’ is already considering changes to the National Instant Criminal Background Check (NICS) for firearms purchases that would allow gun purchase records to be stored on government servers.
Report: Gun Sales Thriving In Uncertain Times
The Washington Post is reporting that while Americans have cut back on buying cars, furniture and clothes in a tough economy, there’s one consumer item that’s still enjoying healthy sales: guns.
According to state and federal data, purchases of firearms and ammunition have risen 8 to 10 percent this year. The story reports many dealers, buyers and experts attribute the increase in part to concerns about the economy and fears that if Barack Obama wins the presidency, he will join with fellow Democrats in Congress to enact new gun controls.

A month in the life of a southern Ohio Buckeye Firearms Association volunteer Leader
By Rick Jones
Seems it all started out when Senator Obama was made the nominee for President by the National Democratic Party. After hearing this I decided I needed to do something to PREVENT Mr. Obama from being elected President.
I’ve already been the assigned National Rifle Association Election Volunteer Coordinator (EVC) for the Ohio 6th Congressional District and I’ve already been involved with the Buckeye Firearms Association for many years…so what more could I do to lose more sleep?
Well…here is my story and what I’ve done and what I’ve helped others to do to help defeat Mr. Obama.

Obama’s “Joe the Hunter” moment has finally come
By Chad D. Baus
Barack Obama has voted for or supported some of the most extreme gun control measures ever attempted in our nation. And yet, with the help of his media accomplices, the Democrat has managed to lull some gun owners into complacency, just as he has managed to lull many hard-working, red-blooded American workers into complacency by obscuring his socialist economic agenda.
Thanks to one simple question from Joe the Plumber on the campaign trail, Americans now know about Obama’s plan for wealth redistribution. And thanks to one simple answer to an interview question, Obama has given “Joe the Hunter” all he needs to know about where he really stands on the right to bear arms.
Buckeye Firearms Assoc. responds to Ohio Democrats’ anti-gun attack with Sunday newspaper ad
Last week, Buckeye Firearms Association exposed Chairman Chris Redfern and the Ohio Democratic Party financing of two deceptive anti-gun mailers attacking State Representative Ross McGregor’s vote for Ohio’s Castle Doctrine bill, SB184.
We pointed out that 75 percent of the Ohio General Assembly voted in favor of this law, which ensures Ohioans’ right to defend themselves and their children from violent criminals – criminals who don’t care about “No Guns” signs. And we pointed out that a majority of Ohio Democratic Party’s own caucus members in the House, including Chairman Redfern himself, voted for this popular legislation, and that a supportive Democrat governor, Ted Strickland, enthusiastically signed it into law.
Yesterday, we took our message to the voters in McGregor’s House District 72, in the form of an advertisement in Clark County’s Springfield News-Sun.

Ohio Democratic Party Chairman continues attacks on Ohio gun owners
Benedict Redfern Strikes Again; Chokes on Obama’s Kool-Aid
By John Salyers
There’s nothing like a good knock down, drag out Presidential race to bring out politicians’ true colors, and the colors of Ohio Democratic Party Chairman and State Representative Chris Redfern are turning darker by the hour.
Earlier this week, Buckeye Firearms Association launched a campaign in support of our endorsee Ross McGregor in House District 72, in response to the blatant hypocrisy put forth in two anti-gun mailers paid for by the Ohio Democratic Party and Chairman Redfern. If you haven’t read that story, please do so now and get involved. Keep reading to see why.
‘We’re lying, and you can’t catch us’
By L. Dietle
Truthfulness and forthrightness matter. When a presidential candidate and his running mate camouflage their actual positions to garner votes from the uninformed, it is appalling. When the mainstream media covers up the deception to promote their preferred candidates, it is outrageous. We have a right to know what the candidates’ true positions are, from their own mouths, and any discrepancies should be headline news.
To illustrate what is going on, I am going to focus on the Second Amendment issue. Whether you are for or against the Second Amendment, you should expect to be told where the candidates really stand. Obama and Biden say that they support Second Amendment rights, but their actions over the years prove otherwise. The media is not only letting them get away with this deception, they are aiding and abetting it. Americans deserve honest political discourse, not subterfuge.
