Analysis: Fact-Checkers Fall Short in Criticizing NRA’s Anti-Obama Ads

By John R. Lott, Jr.

Guns have become an important issue for Barack Obama’s campaign. Starting around the Pennsylvania primary, Obama and his campaign surrogates began strenuously assuring gun owners that he supports gun ownership, and it appears to be paying off. A poll in August showed that John McCain only led Obama among hunters by only 14 percentage points, just about half the 27-point lead that President Bush held over John Kerry in 2004. If McCain had a similar lead, he would be ahead in most polls, particularly in many battle ground states.

This past weekend, Joe Biden campaigned in southwest Virginia calling any notion that Obama wanted to take away people’s guns “malarkey.”Brian Schweitzer, Montana Democratic governor, previously told reporters that Obama “Ain’t ever going to take your gun away.” Obama regularly makes similar statements — at least about rifles and shotguns.

Yet, the NRA, which has given the voting records of both Obama and Biden an “F” rating, has a quite different view, and has started a $15 million ad campaign to warn people about what it regards as Obama’s and Biden’s records. One mailer from the NRA says, “Obama would be the most anti-gun president in American history.”

Critical news stories have been run on the NRA’s ads in the Washington Post, FactCheck.org, CNN, and many other places.

“If we could shut down all sport hunting in a moment, we would.”
– Wayne Pacelle, who is currently President and CEO of the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), to the Associated Press, 1991.

“Our goal is to get sport hunting in the same category as cock fighting and dog fighting. Our opponents say that hunting is a tradition. We say traditions can change.”
– Wayne Pacelle, who is currently President and CEO of the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), to Bozeman (MT) Daily Chronicle, 1991

“Sport hunting — the killing of wild animals as recreation — is fundamentally at odds with the values of a humane, just and caring society.” – HSUS Website 2003.

“We are going to use the ballot box and the democratic process to stop all hunting in the United States … We will take it species by species until all hunting is stopped in California. Then we will take it state by state.”
Wayne Pacelle — who is currently President and CEO of the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), to Full Cry magazine, 1990.

Against bow hunting. Against coyote hunting. Against rabbit hunting. Against pheasant hunting. Against duck hunting. Against dove hunting. Against black bear hunting. Against deer hunting.

Against hunting.

FOR Barack Obama.

Buckeye Firearms Association Endorses Sarah Palin for Vice President of the United States

Posted on by Buckeye Firearms Association

Buckeye Firearms Association is proud to make its first-ever endorsement in a Presidential race, and announces the endorsement of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin for Vice President of the United States.

Sarah Palin is more familiar with the Second Amendment issues important to average American gun owners than any Vice Presidential (or Presidential) candidate in decades.

She doesn’t wear gun rights on her sleeve, but is a citizen for whom guns are a natural and unremarkable part of life and tradition. She is an example of the ordinary gun owner in America.

Palin understands the simple truth that people commit crimes, while guns, knives and hammers do not, and thus such objects should not be banned or overly restricted.

She understands the Second Amendment protects the individual right to bear arms, and that the primary necessity for private firearms ownership is for personal defense and security.

Palin learned hunting from her parents. She has embraced her heritage and passed it on to the next generation. As an active and avid hunter, Palin understands the cycle of life and the meaning of providing for family. She knows that modern hunters share a love of the outdoors and contribute to the conservation of all wildlife. Hunters, back to Teddy Roosevelt’s days, were the first conservationists who recognized the need for wildlife laws and conservation funding. Sarah Palin stands tall in her heritage and the proud tradition of modern hunters and conservationists.

Australian media covers election angle Ohio media ignores: “Ohio voters warn Obama on gun control”

While the Ohio media fawns over a recent visit from Ray Schoenke, President of the fake gun group known as American Hunters and Shooters Association (AHSA), the Australian Broadcasting Corporation has done the job of providing a much better look at how the gun issue is hurting the campaign of Barack Obama in the Buckeye state.

Value of Directly-Elected Judges Proven Once Again in Clyde Case

Posted on by Buckeye Firearms Association

By Ken Hanson, Esq.

Nationwide there has been a great debate over “merit selection” of judges versus direct election of judges, driven largely by the role that campaign money plays in judicial elections, and the taint casted upon judicial impartiality as a result. Ohio is not immune to this discussion, and Chief Justice Moyer has been a nationwide leader in the quest to strip citizens of the power to hold judges accountable. Chief Justice Moyer is a proponent of politicians hand-picking judges statewide (aka Merit Selection), and he is also leading a Jihad against Mayor’s Courts in Ohio, the most responsive and accountable form of Court in existence. After reading Moyer’s dissent in the Clyde case, it is no wonder CJ Moyer is so desperate to obtain protection from the voters.

In case you missed the Clyde decision, you should take a moment to read the dissents, beginning on page 15. I am sure you will be as horrified and revolted as I was. In case you have not read the opinion and have no desire to, the basis for both dissents is that cities are being denied the same rights as citizens. You heard that right – 3 of 7 Ohio Supreme Court judges believe that cities must stand on equal constitutional footing with private citizens. I swear I am not making this up.

Obama’s Ohio gun grabber: Persons who shoot home invaders should (still) be guilty until proven innocent

(the burden of proof rests on who asserts, not on who denies) – Wikipedia

By Chad D. Baus

While most people are familiar with the legal right to a presumption of innocence – being innocent until proven guilty – that exists in the modern nations, an Ohio gun ban lobbyist with ties to Barack Obama seems to be quite ignorant about the matter.

Having suffered yet another stinging loss in the Ohio legislature with passage of Castle Doctrine, Ohio Coalition Against Gun Violence (OCAGV) Executive Director Toby Hoover told Ohio University’s The Post that “a gun owner who shoots an intruder in their home should not be assumed innocent.”

Investigations by Buckeye Firearms Association have revealed that OCAGV’s primary source of funding comes from the anti-gun Joyce Foundation, for which Barack Obama served on the board of directors from 1994 through 2002.
