Gun Owners Fret Obama White House

Voting bloc has 'deep-seated' concerns

The nation's gun owners have the presidential election in their sights.

Some are up at arms about the prospect of future gun legislation should
Democratic presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama win the White
House. Others are beefing up their personal arsenals, skittish that
firearms could become scarce or too expensive in the near future.

"If the economy is down, and gun sales are up, it shows you just how
deep-seated the concern is out there about the situation," said Richard
Pearson, executive director of the Illinois State Rifle Association.

"Most gun owners at least until recently have been misled by Senator
Obama. Though he claims to be an advocate for the Second Amendment,
his voting record in the Illinois Senate says otherwise. He voted for a bill
that would ban nearly every hunting rifle, shotgun and target rifle owned
by Illinois citizens," Mr. Pearson continued.

"His campaign has done a good job burying his take on firearms," he
added.

Hal Goldstein, owner of the Armory gun shop in Annapolis, said, "People
should be scared."

"Sales are definitely up," he said. "I've got people with Obama stickers on
their cars coming in to buy. We're looking at possible a super-
Democratic majority [in Congress], and a president who's going to do
what's best for the collective. I don't want to sound paranoid, but the
prices could go way out of sight."

Mr. Obama's campaign Web site cites "the great conservation legacy" of
American hunters, including Theodore Roosevelt.

"Barack Obama believes the Second Amendment creates an individual
right, and he respects the constitutional rights of Americans to bear
arms. He will protect the rights of hunters and other law-abiding
Americans to purchase, own, transport and use guns," the site states.

Not all gun owners are leery of Mr. Obama. He has the endorsement of
the American Hunters and Shooters Association (AHSA), a Maryland-
based group that describes itself as mainstream hunters without "a radical
agenda."

Mr. Pearson, however, buys none of it.

"This is all just a propaganda mill. And the American Hunters and
Shooters Association is a leftist, elitist group." he said. "They're a front
for the Brady Campaign [to Prevent] Gun Violence." The Brady
Campaign also has endorsed Sen. Obama's candidacy.

AHSA President Ray Schoenke said his group is "not a front for anybody."

"The issue that Senator Obama - or Senator [John] McCain, for that
matter - is going to take America's guns away has been hyped up,"
Mr. Schoenke said. "If people are looking for an excuse not to vote for
Senator Obama, then it shouldn't be on the gun issue.

"If people are nervous, they need to remember the Supreme Court
decision this summer, which says the government cannot confiscate or
ban guns," he said.

Mr. Obama has not made any points with the National Shooting Sports
Foundation (NSSF), a Connecticut-based nonprofit group of 4,000 gun
makers, retailers, sportsmen and publishers.

The NSSF claims that on Sept. 27, the Obama campaign "unlawfully
obtained and made unauthorized use of a proprietary media list"
belonging to the group and has since sent a cease-and-desist letter to
campaign officials.

Meanwhile, the National Rifle Association (NRA) has launched get-out-the
vote drives, including lawn signs that read:

"I'm a 'bitter' gun owner and I vote."

"We're arming gun owners, who are a very loyal voting bloc, with the
facts. And it's a fact that gun control has become a political liability.
Senator Obama is spending millions trying to camouflage his take on the
issue," said NRA spokesman Chris Cox.

Gun control means hitting what you're aiming at.

When in doubt...empty the magazine.
