Less than a week after John McCain was endorsed by the National Rifle Association, Barack Obama is being backed by a major antigun group.
The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence says Obama and running mate Joe Biden would strengthen background checks on gun purchasers, get assault weapons off the streets, and give law
enforcement more tools to stop illegal gun trafficking.
A spokesman for the group criticized McCain for once leading on gun violence prevention issues, but then allegedly pandering to the gun lobby.
The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence is named after James
Brady, the former White House press secretary who was gravely
wounded during the attempt on Ronald Reagan's life in 1981.

I don't care what they try to do for gun control. They will get my gun if they can pry it from my cold dead hand.

I have a concealed carry permit. I am also a member of the NRA! I am for some type of gun control like mental cases deemed incompetent and felons need no guns at all. But if No Bama gets in we will have to fight it like mad. Heck he wants to allow Convicted Felons to be able to vote so why not let the guns go to them? Guess what they already do.It is like drugs you cannot stop the morons from getting high and stealing guns.If you take the guns away as dangerous weapons you will have to take modern house hold items away too. Heck even the writing tools or news papers or phone books too! They all can be used as deadly weapons. But like the liberal democrats they want to change the constitution to benefit their wants and need to the price of our law abiding citizens! Guns don't kill it is the people who don't respect the power and the responsibility that comes with it! Proper training and back ground checks are the key here. Give any government one right back they will all be gone soon
