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.

Steve, that was one of the most racist comments I have ever heard. Why is racism suddenly acceptable as long as it's against anyone hispanic? Fool. And nothing on there said anything about making guns illegal. All it is doing is making it more difficult to buy a gun for criminals. It's the same reasoning for why we can't go to Wal-Mart and buy 100 boxes of Sudafed. Prevention. We have the right to bear arms and should keep it, but lets keep them out of the hands of criminals. Did no one read the story about the 2 year old boy who was shot and killed by some fool with a GUN? And any of you who are calling Obama a Muslim, Arab, or anything of the like are ignorant back woods fools. Obama=Muslim Anti-Gun=Communism Man, if that's what you people think, I am afraid for this Country. If you want to live your lives in a tiny little box, go right ahead. You absolutely have the right to do that. BUT STOP TRYING TO SHOVE THE REST OF US IN!
