Obama is going to let each state continue to make its own gun laws without federal interference. How do I know?
BECAUSE HE SAID SO!

With severe gun control (i.e., with nearly all guns in the hands of either criminals or agents of the State), Britain now has over FOUR TIMES the rate of violent crime as does the United States. Imagine putting a sign above your door: “We are unarmed and helpless! Please don’t hurt us!” That’s what schools do in the US (they are gun-free zones, by law) and guess where the crazies go to shoot innocent victims who can’t shoot back?

According to a recent Rasmussen poll, a full 71 percent of Americans feel that it is “somewhat likely” that the Obama administration will seek tougher gun control laws. Obviously it’s the past record of administration officials that has caused nearly 3 out of every 4 Americans–not just “Second Amendment zealots”–to feel this way. Not just statements made at the NRA’s annual members’ meeting held Phoenix this past May.

“I can’t help but feel this is less about preserving rights and more about the NRA drumming up membership and sales”.

What “drums up” sales is not the NRA, it is Obama and his words/actions.
There are some 3 to 4 million NRA members, I’m not one of them, however I own several guns. It would be a safe bet that for every member of the NRA there are 40 gun owners who are not part of the NRA.

In the USA there is roughly 200 million guns in the hands of private citizens.

Why are supporters of 2nd ammendment rights labeled zealots? Shouldn’t the story be about the fear Americans are feeling concerning their constitutional rights under this administration?

“Constitutional zealots are not letting the bad economy stop them from buying ……”

Amazing what a little word substitution tells us about the writer.
