Bethesda, MD -- Every four years, the leaders of the NRA haul out the same old attacks against the Democratic presidential candidate like a broken record.  They don't let facts get in the way.  Instead, Wayne LaPierre and his partisan cronies use their members' resources to launch the same old false partisan attacks. 

This year, the television ads and mailings against Obama from the NRA just don't hold water according to independent sources. Factcheck.org reported, "A National Rifle Association advertising campaign distorts Obama's position on gun control beyond recognition."  The Washington Post wrote "The NRA misfires on this one" and awarded the group "three Pinocchio's."

This year should be different.  Gun owners got the critical ruling we've long sought from the U.S. Supreme Court by winning the D.C. gun ban case.  Our gun rights are protected from Congress and the White House.  But, the NRA is acting like that decision never happened and doesn't really count- but it did and it does-period!  That's why the usual attacks won't work this year. Gun owners are more aware of what's really going on than the NRA leaders think.  We know our gun rights now are safe, and now we want to secure our economy and our protect our environment getting this country headed back in the right direction.
 
The leadership of the NRA is living in the past.  They're doing a double disservice to gun owners who are fighting for the environment and fighting for their jobs.  LaPierre needs a new act because this one has gotten really old. It might make his right wing friends happy, but it's failing the nation's hundred million gun owners miserably.
